Normally I use Model Master or Tamiya paints, but decided to try something different . The local hobby shop owner told me Model Master was being discontinued and Tamiya doesn’t have the complete range of RLM colors . Mission Paints have quite a selection of RLM paints.

I was wondering if anyone on imodeler has used these and if there are any tips to share about using them. From the info on their web site , they seem to be hassle free.

This Bf-110 will be the Guinea pig . I bought the colors called out by the instruction sheet for the exterior camouflage. I ‘m looking forward to starting this 110, I have a soft spot in my heart and head for them for some reason.

Thank you for the reply, Pedro...
On their website ,I think , it said you could spray it from the bottle. They said to use distilled water if you thin it with water. I thought I’d give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll stick with Tamiya paints.

When I’m airbrushing, sometimes I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick a football, I start out with positive expectations but things often seem to go awry. I should probably try to master brush painting.

Hi Jay, I have used Mission Model Paints with good success. My advice is read the Mission Model website, Tech Support/FAQ's, and follow their advice. What works for me is 1 drop each thinner and poly to 10 drops paint. I have had good results with this formula.

If you are not using acrylics exclusively, I also use Gunze Mr. Color and AK Real Colors range of paints with good success. All of these I thin with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner.

Good luck.

Gary.. (@gwskat),thank you for the advice. I didn’t buy any of the poly. I’ll buy some before I’m ready to paint the 110. In my airbrush, I pretty much just use acrylic paints, 99% of the time anyway.
