Hi,

I agree with Rich.
On the whole Tamiya acrylics are a lot more user friendly than Vallejo.
That does not mean that Vallejo acrylics are bad, on the contrary.

Like Rich I use Tamiya for airbrush work and Vallejo for brush jobs.
I don't find Tamiya hopeless for brush work, just add enough of Tamiya's own thinner and it will dry about as fast as Vallejo.

Also, Vallejo is a bit more costly than Tamiya, at least here in
Holland.

H.T.H. and happy modelling !
Jerry
