                        If it was that thick, it might have been a left over from the first Acryl line.  There were two lines of Acryl made.  The "old formula" and the "new formula".  Make sure your hobbystore doesn't have a whole bunch of "old formula" Acryl around.  The "old formula" is completely incompatiable with the "new formula".  By the way, I'm not referring to the small 1/4oz bottles.  I'm referring to the Model Master line.  Here's a pic of the old bottles.  Notice the blue band around the top.  It says "Acrylic Enamel".  The "new formula" doesn't have this band:

                        Thicker?

                        MM Acryl should be thinner than Tamiya, ready to spray right from the bottle. 

                         

                        You sure you don't have MM Enamel?

                        Sounds like a bad batch. MM is thicker that Tamiya, but it should't be toothpaste thick.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                          Hello everyone!

                               My Question is .. I always use tamiya acrylics but to try something new I bought a bottle of Model Master Raw umber and its real thick ? Kinda like toothpaste. Is the paint good or should I take it back !
