| Paul, I have used WEM Colourcoat aviation colors and really like the accuracy of these colors. Have not tried the armor colors yet, but would like to. Yes, they are in the Humbrol-like tins and seem remarkably similar to Xtracolor in smell, consistency and application. They also have the Xtracolor-like Glacial drying times, a little better when thinned with lacquer thinner though. Do you know if the Xtracolor X816, British Army Khaki Drab (WWII SCC 15 equivalent I think) is accurate? I have used it and like it, but have heard that it is too light—looks good to me though. I tend to use acrylics due to drying times and have found that Gunze H320 is a good match for Xtracolor X816. Rich |
