Was searching through evilbay at Su-27 bits and came across these paints(i also see John has some). Question is has anyone used these before? What are they like to spray? Are the colours good?
I've used their "Red Line" acrylics a couple of times, and they sprayed very well.
there are 3 ranges of Hataka paint, Red, Orange & Blue. The Red is optimised for airbrush ( think vallejo air ), the Blue is for brush ( Vallejo color ). The orange is lacquer based.
I've only used Red - they are very similar to Vallejo, and work well - they maybe a little thin, so two coats may be necessary - I'd buy them again ( providing the price was competetive!)
I’ve only used one, and though it sprayed well, it didn’t cover well at all. I tried USMC Green over white primer for the underside of my “Merry Christmas” LVTP-5, and two coats still wasn’t enough to get it to cover properly. Since this was the underside I could live with it, but if I’d have had to spray the upper sides, I would have needed at least one more coat, and perhaps even more than that over raised details. Maybe these paints are very good for those modellers who like to layer paint finishes, but I like it to covers in one goI've used their "Red Line" acrylics a couple of times, and they sprayed very well.
