Just now getting caught up with this great build, Tom (@tcinla). Paints look great. A lot of the "newer" paints are a little difficult to get here in south central Texas. I have been having really good luck with Tamiya and AK Real Colors. I have a couple of bottles of the new Tamiya lacquer paint, but haven't tried them yet.

Been there, Tom (@tcinla). I used to use nothing but Floquil, so all of my painting took place in the garage. The odor from the new Tamiya lacquer is not nearly as potent as the old stuff. I use Tamiya Lacquer thinner sometimes in my regular Tamiya paints, and I have an indoor spray booth that vents outside which keeps me out of the doghouse.
