Revell paints

[mr t]

anybody else used revell paints?

They lead to a poor finish - u can see the brush marks
quite heavily

How come humbrol paints do not do this?

I haven't used revell

Mr.T
I haven't used revell paints but I have use testors on my static models and I usually get heavy brush marks if I don't thin it down. I generally buy a large container of testors thinner. I also only use brush on paints for small items and spray whatever else I can. Just put a little paint in an old clean lid and slowly mix in the thinner till you get the consistancy you want. It's hit or miss on the amounts, try a few drops of paint and add the same plus a couple more drops of thinner.The amount is determined by how big an area you are painting. Then just toss the lid after the paint dries.
Hope this helps. Good luck
