I bought some Humbrol Acrylic thinners the other month as I have numerous pots of starter/gift set acrylics which I never use as I don't seem to be able to get an even finish with them.

As a test bed I opened a couple of starter sets I got at Home Bargins and these are the results.









So this was brush painted using the paint guides in the kits although I did mix HU93,Hu33,Hu11 for the exhausts. I'm quite impressed with the results considering I've avoided these little pots like the plaque until now. Am I a convert, no, I think I still prefer enamels to paint brush with but am not averse to using the acrylics more now.

A great kit, this is the starter set version, the normal kit with full decal and painting instructions should be a blast.

Very nice build John.
This 109 looks really nic mate

That is a really nice build great paint job with brushing those acrylics

Really nice work.

If you want to brush acrylics, try Vallejo Model colour, lovely paints.

Great looking 109 John, very impressive
