 Subject:  Re: German Paints - in Humbrol and Model Master range?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 11, 2006
 From:  Jonathan Bowen 
I too like Model Master, but I prefer the enamels. Testor's Model Master has an entire range of military colors in both enamel and acrylic, so you can pick your poison. Humbrol works well too, but it's my opinion that the German colors from Testor's Model Master line is a good starting point. I usually add 10%+ to each color to give them more of a scale effect, but again, the choice is yours. Floquil had a range of military enamels until Testor's purchased them. All the colors you see in the Model Master racks were originally the Floquil colors, but the paint formulation seems a little different. It's still good quality, but I miss my Floquil...
