Advice using Model Master Acryl flesh tones needed (please)

I dont use Acryl for brush paintingskin tones I only airbrush it on larger figures, and the colors tend to come out fairly dark then.  I use Reaper paints from reapermini.com , which are very simlar to Vallejo Andrea Color acrylics in anything below 1/20 scale. (Machinen Krieger is 1/20 scale)

Try adding some Liquitex Slo Dri from the art store to thin the paint but keep it wet on the brush.

I find that this article has helped me more than anything I have read on the subject in the last twenty years.

I've used the MM Enamel skin base and tints, and what I did was to first paint the base and then use the tint as wash.  I have no idea if that was what Testor's intended but the results have been decent.  As far as losing the detail, I had the same problem until I started using my airbrush to apply the base.  It seems almost silly to break out the airbrush for the exclusive purpose of painting a figure's face, but if you want to keep the detail, you're sort of stuck with it.

Here's a picture of a couple of German's from my latest tank painted as described above.
