I got a smaller package deal a while back from him, he had the 100 bottles thing closed for a few days to let inventory and orders equalize

so, I got 29 bottles for around $35 after shipping (just a quick guess)

I was okay with the paints, I had used the Enamels a long time ago,,,,,,,,I got Acrylics this time

these Aeromaster Acrylics are different than the "second generation" set of paints,,,,,,,,these older ones are the same formula as the PollyScale/Floquil Acrylics,,,,,and they like the same treatment, for me, that means using Testor's own house brand of thinner with them, cleaning up with Simple Green for normal clean-ups and Medea Airbrush cleaner for heavier duty cleaning

sometimes they like a drop or two of Liquitex Flow Medium in each airbrush cup of paint, to keep the tip from needing to be wiped off so often

for brush painting,,,,,they work the same as PollyScale, just add a bit of house thinner, or no thinner at all, brush on, clean the brush in Simple Green, wash with dishsoap water once in a while, no fuss painting

the newer Aeromaster Acrylics are the same as Vallejo, they are repackaged by them, same plastic bottle and all,,,,,they follow different usage guidelines than "antique Aeromaster"

I just received the 100 bottles of AeroMasters paint that I bought on an Ebay auction.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-5oz-Bottles-Floquil-Model-Paint-AeroMaster-Products-Warbird-Colors-/221177694434?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14136%26meid%3D5485000260101773321%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1085%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D221177694434%26

Sorry, haven't figured out the link insert function.  Anways...  How are these paints?  I thought the auction price was good.  I figured a few of you probably have bought some from this supplier.  I haven't tried any out yet.  Good for brushing, airbrushing?  Need to be thinned?  Thanks.
