Italeri acrylics
Posted by kaimuki21 on Thursday, November 14, 2013 6:39 PM

Usually use tamiya or floquil acrylics but was thinking about italeri due to larger selection and wondered how they compared to the tamiya and floquil paints.  Any major differences with airbrushing?  Thanks for any input

LOL! I am in the dark here as well. I have bought a couple colors so far. Tarn Ship is the guy on here with the most knowledge and experience so far.

And that Tarn guy is slow and dimwitted this week

I just realized that both of you could use a link or two from my favorites

www.acrylicosvallejo.com

www.vallejo.nl/.../s2dmain.html

and any other links you find for using Vallejo, or Color of Eagles paints will contain tips for you to use with Italeri paints

(I thought I had a link to something called Daka Daka,,,,,,that was a site full of guys that use only Vallejo,,,,but, you would have to search for it yourselves,,,,,,I can't find it)

Haha, just thought I'd put you on the spot. Don't you know the forum is counting on you?

Come to think of it, I think Enrico on here does us Italeri acrylics. Hopefully he checks in here often enough to reply?

Are Color of Eagles acrylics made by Valejo? I bought a few of those many years back when they were new and have only used them once. I think that I thinned them that time with denatured alcohol. They worked very nicely.

Nathan, you are an instigator.

Yes, Color of Eagles were made by Vallejo.

They were designed by the same guy that ran the Aeromaster paint and decal lines,,,,,after the switch away from PollyScale and Model Master paints. Eagles has one of the better Blue-Gray paints for the top of early WW II USN planes.

You can still get some of the Eagles colors from Sprue Bros,,,,,,,,,they got them when they bought out Great Models (GMW is where I got mine from before the buy-out)

I got mine from Squadron when I was overseas and they were introducing the line. Squadron was one of the few online sites that would work with a military APO addresses because of the format for those.
