That wouldn't be Hannant's would it?
Darren, I used Lifecolour without any problems. Best bet, get some Tamiya acrylic thinner, as this contains a built in retarder and try altering your paint mix between to between 30-40% paint to 60 -70% thinner as the the Lifecolour is a little on the thick side straight out of the pot.
Alternatively you could try Gunze acrylics, which is what I use. These are not available from Hannants, but from MDC, see link below:

And you don't have to order a kit each time you want to buy some paint.
They are also cheaper at £1.25 a pot.
The Gunze range has all the main FS & RLM colours, and the paints are, IMHO the bast acrylics on the market.
Again you can thin with Tamiya acrylic thinner, but this time at about 50/50 paint to thinner as the pigments are finer.
Best of luck
