Every time I see what a model was painted with, I always see all kinds of brands except testors. Is testors any good?

I've got some testors in my bag of tricks , but I like acrylics for the wash up value. Testors are also VERY limited as far a colours go. But that all said, they work OK as long as they are thinned properly.
Their Model Master series has a good selection of colours, but I've never tried them, as no one heres sells it.

i use some testors acrylics from model master and i have some tamiyas to me they arent so different but thanx for posting.

I use mostly Model Master enamels on my armor projects. Their acrylics are pretty good, also. I've used mostly Testor's paints for years as they were readily avalible and cheap. I know that some of the other brands are probably better, but I'm only building and painting to please myself, so they work fine.

I need to try humbrol. Modelwarehouse.biz has them on sale.

Model Masters is made by testers. I have always used Model Masters enamels for all my painting. I have tried other enamels and acryics, even Humbrol's, but have always went back to model masters! It has always been consistent and flexible, I'm sticking with it!

HTH,

Testors 1/4 oz bottles have a limited range of colors and is aimed mostly at the casual or younger modelers...

Model Master Enamals and Model Master acrylics are also made by testors and are fairly popular here in the states as almost every hobby shop carries the line.

Tamiya Acrylics are also fairly easy to find in the states and seems to be easier to find abroad...

I personally use mostly model master enamals as I really like the range of colors..
