what is going on at xtracolor paints

Post by sheppy »

Can anyone help what is going on with xtracolor paints. My SU27 build calls for xtracolor 601, 602, 603 but they are all unavailable. So looks like I might have to bite the bullet and go acrylic, any suggestions on best match to these colours in acrylic.

As long as you clean your airbrush well there should be no problem using acrylics and enamel paints from the same airbrush.
But if you can it would be good practice
I spray acrylics clean out with Ultimate, put some alclad threw it clean that out let it dry then use acrylics again
