Which Acrylic Paint

Many years ago Floquil made a great line of acrylic paint under the brand Polly S. I have some from twenty years ago that are still pretty ok. I only bring it up because I don't feel as though things have improved much since then.

I second Tamiya, but it's true that they don't really sell ready to use US military colors beyond a few such as their own version of OD.

Most recently I've bought a set of AK Interactive paints. I'm going to try them soon on a little ship model. I will report on that.

A lot of times it's who makes the color you might need.I have used Vallejo,Tamiya,and Lifecoulor for acrylics.

When I do use enamels and lacquers,I use my respirator,so hence no odors or fumes.

I understand what you mean on the fumes. I use Tamiya paints and use pastels and watercolors for my weathering just to avoid the stinky stuff. The old sniffer doesn't appreciate the strong odors anymore.

For a minimal fuss relaible acrylic paint, I say Tamiya. At least for airbrushing. Handbrushing with them requires some tricks. But their colors are mostly generic, so mixing skills can be required. But aside from their thinner, no additives are required for airbrushing. I can’t vouch for Citadlel paints, and I’m not a big fan of Vallejo. 

Mission Models acrylics are pretty good, and hand brush better than Tamiya. 

Stay away from Model Master acrylics. Too many problems to easily list. 

I have slowly been trying Humbrol acrylics and have been really liking them for handbrushing, airbrushing, and packaging.
