Hey guys, I am going to switch my hand brush painting from Tamiya to Polly Scale. I have had success with handbrushing Tamiya, but the fumes it gives out is bothering my family and I in the home. I have tried Polly Scale and it seems to be much better, plus it is amazing at hand brushing. Better than most paints I have tried. So here is my question. Of the following Tamiya paints, which one would be the Polly Scale equivalent? I would deeply appreciate any help.
XF-24 Dark GreyXF-63 German GreyXF-59 Desert YellowXF-60 Dark YellowXF-65 Field GreyXF-57 Buff
I have a two year old son, and the only time I can paint is at night, but I don't have very good air circulation in the garage. I'm not giving up on Tamiya, but I need an alternative.
One side note, how is Model Master Enamel for handbrushing? Just curious. This means a lot

For brush painting, I can't say enough good things about Vallejo paints. Give them a shot. I love the dropper bottles which keeps the paint from drying up, water based acrylics, so no smell, and excellent color coverage, even with lighter colors.

Thanks Milairjunkie, I deeply appreciate your quick response. These sites, are a big help.
Guys, just got an e-mail from Testors. They confirmed that YES, Pollyscale's militray line of paints is being discontinued. There is no timeframe, but once a paint runs out, they will not be producing anymore of it. It's a shame, they handbrush amazingly well. They cited the slow economy and sales of Polly Scale. I wish they would use the formula from Polly Scale to enhance MM Acryl, or at least expand the Acryl line.
