Sorry if I'm high-jacking, but also started recently and have been using
Tamiya and Humbrol enamel with brush painting. I notice a difference between the
Tamiya flatt/matt and Humbrol flat/matt. The
Tamiya final results seems more smoother than the Humbrol. For instance, in this pic attached of a swearing/spitting cheap Ju-88 I'm building, for the top, the dark green is Humbrol and the black green is
Tamiya. The differences in the surfaces is surprising, where the
Tamiya will almost start shining a bit, but the Humbrol won't, not as smooth. In the pic, you can see the light reflect more off the black green then the dark green.
Is this a general difference between the two brands regarding their flat/matt paints?
They are the main brands available on Hobby shops and on-line is South Africa, so have to make do with them.
