The February '93 issue of Model Railroader reviewed the new Badger Accu-Flex paints. Their review was quite positive, to say the least: The release of a new line of model paints doesn't tend to cause much celebration. Singing and dancing are usually reserved for a new locomotive or *maybe* a good freight car. However, a few minutes of ``playing'' with Badger's new Accu-Flex line of acrylic paints impressed me more than if someone had shown me an N scale locomotive with a working diesel engine. It's quick-drying, sticks well, dries quickly, has very thin coats, and doesn't need a primer even on metal. The reviewer does note that one should clean the airbrush immediately after use -- and with water, not lacquer thinner -- trying that results in a ``gummy mess''.
