                        As far as acrylic paints go, they are the best. Easy to use easy to clean.

                        As all acrylics do however, they clog the airbrush much more than enamels will.

                        One word of caution, though: Make sure you buy the "Vallejo Air" line for airbrush use and the regular Vallejo line for brush painting. THey are formulated to optimize results for application method.

                        I've been using Citadel game acrylics for a while now and agree that they are much better for painting models than even Tamiya.  The Tamiya paints are very thin and difficult to brush.  The one drawback I've found with these gaming paints is that their color line stresses earthtones (for obvious reasons) and I do mostly auto models.  Does Vallejo make a basic set of colors that could be used for automobile detailing?

                        Thanks,

                        JB
