Monty Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hey guys just curious on how humbrol paints work for either brushing or air brushing oppions please? There's an Austrailian member of another model forum I'm on who grew up brush painting his models with Humbrol enamels. (The right brushes & some artistic training make all the difference). The gloss range isn't as extensive as, say, Testors, but the colors are nice, and there are metalizer-type paints and candies too (Clear red, clear green and clear orange). The flat/military colors offer all kinds of variations of blue, brown, green etc, and they are an excellent choice for interiors. These paints also work great for airbrushing, although I recommend reducing them with lacquer thinnner rather than Humbrol's reducer. I see Frank has already posted. Do a search for his red Mazda. It's painted with Humbrol #19 (Bright red). The pigments are nice but you will need to stir them thoroughly for best results. I recommend getting the Badger paint mixer. Your LHS should have it for around $12.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
