lifecolor RLM paint sets

[Doggy]

I was in my kind off local model shop and I bought a He219. It's a revell kit and I hate the vagueness of Revell paint guidance. I spoke to the owner and he suggested a full set of lifecolor RLM paints instead of trying match up loads of other paints. To be honest I would prefer to buy the closest colour match regardless of who makes it. I do like Tamiya and have quite a few colours already. Does Vallejo air offer a RLM set? I can't get Vallejo air in Glasgow. So I suppose my question is what's best for German aircraft?

Thanks guys.

If you cant get them in Glasgow, order them from the shop and I am sure John will have them in the post to you quicker than you can say "Where's my blooming paints"!

So you would recommend vallejo over life colour?

I don't know Life colour, as I have never used them.

Vallejo are very good paints and I use them for most of my stuff.

I also use Xtracylix and White Ensign paints. The latter being enamels.

I can vouch for those. Both in colour and quality.

Thanks Ian. At the moment I have collected a few tamiya paints so if I don't have the correct colour I'll invest in a set.

Doggy i have just started using life colour paints in my opinion they are as good as Vallejo so i use both the life colour has a bigger range than Vallejo but cost a little more

Thanks papa. It's a massive learning curve all these paints.
