Post by: Fabian on April 25, 2007, 05:03:09 PM
Anyone used them? They're a paint brand I'd never heard of until reading the Andrea Miniatures book...

never used them but I have heard they are good for airbrushing.

Edit:  a paint manufactuer brand .... very fine pigment.. very matt finish airbrushes well ... popular amoung the plastic kit builders.

I've got several Hasegawa WWII tank kits. The painting diagrams on the back of the assembly insructions all quote the suggested colours to be used in "Gunze Sangyo Mr Color" colours.

I understand that they are the standard acrylic paints in Japan, but I've never actually seen or used any.

Damn, I just mentioned the war! ;)

"Mr Color" hehe - I did notice that all their stuff seems to be "Mr" ; reminds me of the "Mr Sparkle" episode of The Simpsons  :icon_razz:
