I bought the 32nd scale Iron Maiden Spitfire, and it came with a small selection of paints. Just wondering what are they ? And if they're any good ? And what are they compatible with ?
Cheers

Revell Aqua acrylics. I've got a few, I find it a little thick but easily thinned. It seems to have a cult following online though, a good handful swear by it. The colour range is a little limited, hence Revells colour callouts often mention mixes.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Stay away from the enamels, they are rather gooey and turn into sludge after a few uses. The acrylics are decent, esp. the matt ones, the glossy ones IMHO lack opacity, esp. around edges, at least when applied with a brush.

I found some particular difficulties with the fluorescent orange, very little coverage after many coats. However, this effect worked for me in a way, if I overlaid it in a yellow or paler orange, it would look like weathered paint.
