Acrylic Paint No.246 RLM 75 Grauviolett Matt dropper bottle

Do I like this paint? Let's just say that this was my first Humbrol Acrylic and on the strength of the experience, I now have 24 bottles! I am new to using acrylics for plastic kit modelling, having only just returned to the hobby. When I was younger, enamels were the norm, and as I recall them, relatively messy and brush cleaning was a chore. Moreover, not being spirit-based, these have no smell to speak of, and if you do get any on furniture, the paint is much easier to remove. I've not yet tried these Humbrol acrylics with my airbrush, but I anticipate no issues. The reason I have yet to try that is that I am currently working on the smaller, detailed components and have found no need. The paint seems easier to apply smoothly and I believe that is the nature of the paint, which offers good coverage despite simultaneously seeming a thinner coat than enamels and thus far less inclined to fill and hide the detail. This may also be because I am happier using fine art sable brushes as I can easily ensure they stay clean. I think maybe enamels had greater adhesion, but that is just an impression from a long-ago memory of the latter, so please do not take my word for that. The squeezy bottles with a fine nozzle, when used with a small plastic paint palette, also ensure that there is barely any wastage, so while no paints are cheap anymore, I think these represent great value. This is but one Humbrol Acrylic I have bought, but I am so pleased with this - I now have 24! The colour accuracy is super.

As a product, it’s a good product, however there are other methods to achieve a better result. But if you want a quick and easy fix for small areas than this point will do it for you. However, if you want to do larger areas it does tend to be a little runny and you have to be very careful and put it on in layers to stop it from running. It’s more of a wash than a pint so it’s ideal for areas where you have recesses that you want rust to run all the way through.

This paint was half the cost of the vallejo or ak equivalent. I bought it for a model I wasn't really trying to win a competition with so I gave it a shot. It was really quite good. The only thing that wasn't great was 3 or 4 times during the use, it fired tiny clumps out my airbrush. Nothing world ending, but when you use an airbrush you are looking for a flawless finish. But if you were using a brush I doubt you would ever have that issue. In terms of cost... absolutely amazing.

He probado la Humbrol acrílica nº 31 gris pizarra mate en trabajos de modelismo y me ha dado buen resultado, sobre todo para detalles y zonas que requieren un gris oscuro neutro. El tono es un gris pizarra bastante equilibrado, ideal para piezas metálicas, bases, uniformes o elementos urbanos. Lo que más me ha gustado: Color gris muy útil y versátil. Buen acabado mate, sin brillos indeseados. Se trabaja bien a pincel. Formato con cuentagotas cómodo para dosificar. A tener en cuenta: La cobertura es correcta, pero en algunas superficies puede necesitar una segunda capa para un acabado uniforme. Conclusión: Una buena opción como gris base en modelismo. No es la pintura más cubriente del mercado, pero cumple bien y tiene un acabado muy limpio.

Je l'ai pas encore utilisé mais je pense qu'elle est bien et que la couleur est respectée
