Day 87: trying Revell paints

Some experimenting with Revell paints this time - and overall, it's pretty positive. I've been using the enamels for the black on the Bagnall and the grey, brown and black on the ballast wagon (though the ironwork is done with a Sharpie!). All done with a brush, I don't own an airbrush. The paints seem fairly thin, but give good coverage, everything here has one coat only, though I need to recoat the black in a few areas where the primer got oversprayed with the main body blue. The next one to try out is the bufferbeam red - the real acid test, as I've never found that could cover in less than 3 or 4 coats so far.

Red is a very translucent pigment  so will usually need more than one coat! Looking good. Cheers

I prefer Revell paints over Humbrol, but they are less easily available.

They seem to dry a little smoother, showing less brush marks.

I'd agree with the positive comments on Revell paints, and preference over Humbrol. My experience with enamel is that it sprays well and gives a good fininsh.
