I finished my first Models painted with Vallejo-Colours, today. Its time to share the first experiences with you.
At the end of my last Projects I must say, that Vallejos aint the High End Colours Ive expected.
I used the RLM-Box for 2 Messerschmitt 109s and a Fw 190 D-9. Cause they dry too fast (for my taste), I had to disassemble my airbrush each time after using them and clean it with a toothpick! The colours dryed very hard and I werent able to clean them with water unlike instruction manual tells me.
Cleaning the Airbrush with Revell Cleaner or !!Nitro-thinner!! failed!

They are well thinned for using with an Airbrush but cleaning is a Mess!
I ordered the special Vallejo Thinner, maybe that works better.

Next crap:
I used Tamiya Flat Clear (PS-55) to cover the Models. The Vallejo Colours start to buckling and bulging.
I will use clear Varnish next time, to see, what happens then.
