    Its the first time Ive used them pete , they are a bit different arent they ? They did seem to take ages to cure but after looking it does say on the bottle ‘leave for 24 hours to dry ‘ . The other things are they dont seem very opaque - the sand colour took two coats over two days - and is it just me or do they smell like Jeyes fluid when youre using them!? ( even though it says on the bottle ‘no odour’ !)
    They seem to have done the job though so they might get get a run out again the next Italian job I do , and theres 3 in the stash !

      I had an RAF day fighter scheme set Tony, and it still felt tacky after a week between coats. I mentioned this to the guy who ran the Antics shop near me and he produced a figure he'd sprayed with MIG a month before - it was still tacky. That was a few years ago though, they must have improved since then.

        Fantastic paint work Tony, the mottle effect is looking A-1. I have used Ammo acrylics in recent years on various builds with no drying issues. They are all the slightly older bottles of the Vallejo-style. Do you use the Ammo thinner with their paint?
