          Great to use, not sure about brushing? It's already thinned. I thinned some by mistake and it ran through the airbrush and out the door!!

            I have both of those in Mrp. Bought them for my recent shtormovik build.

            Loads left so happy to send them over if they're any good to you, just return what you don't use.

              Thanks for all of you for taking the time to respond Guys it's much appreciated :smiling3:
              I'm probably not going to do another USSR plane again,so I don't really want to spend out on a complete paint set .

                  No worries Andy.

                  I'm the same as you, might never do another plane in those colours so they might as well get used.

                  I still have your address. Unless you've moved recently lol :tears-of-joy:
