I'm using both Tamiya and Testor's acrylics. I prefer the Tamiya all-around. It hand- and air-brushes very well [for my uses...of course, I'm no Mark Gustavson]; I can pour it straight out of the bottle into my Testor Pro airbrush and get great results. I started buying some Testor paints for the wider color selection and for the FS compatibility [something I _never_ thought I'd care about]. I find that they airbrush really well, but are too thin to give good coverage with a brush in one coat. I haven't used any of the other acrylics, and so can't comment on them. chaz ..must think...bubble pipe will relax me and I think...
