I'm pretty happy with the paint so far, not to heavy not to light. I've used Gunze Mr Colour H318 Random (semi-gloss) for the dark yellow then Humbrol 113 Rust for the red-brown and finaly Tamiya XF-58 olvie green. I used a retarder in the Tamiya and Gunze paints as i find they dry so quick in my HG Superfine airbrush that it cloggs the nozzel with in a few seconds... very frustrating! The retarder did the trick and i only got a few areas of over saturation. The Humbrol is another matter, I've decided I can not use my airbrush with this paint, regardless of how thin or thick the mix it always clogs the nozzel.
