I've had no trouble using these paints. Well, at first it was difficult to get used to the airbrush needing cleaning once in a while and getting the hang of the diluting. In fact, I just stopped diluting when I got tired of always trying to find the _right_ solution. I once got an orange peel look when I put too much water with the paint, it seems to work better the thicker it is. They also work better with low pressure, sorry I can't remember what settings I used.

I've never had any drying time problems, I once painted a ME 110 in 1:48 completely, all three camo colours and yellow wing tips in less than 30 mins.

So I can say I'm very satisfied with both the aircraft and the ground vehicle colours, except for the dunkelgelb which looks way too olive.
