can reeves acrylic paints be used on tanks cause i was looking in artists shop at weekend cant find what im looking for in model shop

I take it you mean Reeves Artists Acrylic paints. There is no reason why not, apart from the fact that they would be very thick! Why don't you have a look on e-bay at these guys http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/panther_models_ltd/ They stock Vallejo model paints; they do a range of Panzer colours too!

thanks andyd for the link am trying to find acrylic paint over here sometimes it takes to long buying stuff off ebay if reeves acrylic is thick surely it can be thinned down

hi raven
          though ive never used them myself, like andyd says theres no reason you cant use reeves, and yes they can be thinned as with most all paints, with reeves acrylics i think you could use water to thin them, though it would be best to check in the shop when you buy.

i was out today looking for tamiya paint and tubing for my barrel couldnt get it anywhere came across this paint http://www.thearmypainter.com/ has anybody used this paint before the shop has desert yellow €12 for 400ml can

Raven all i can say is the tanks that i have painted are all done with
tamiya paints,the small pots not the spray cans, and you can see the
results ,they seem ok to me, hope this helps.

i have tamiya paints just cant get colors i want just dont want to keep buying off the net takes to long to get them, i saw armypaint by chance just want to know has anybody used these

Raven, dunno if you're in the UK or US but if your over here in the UK try www.netmerchants.co.uk ( I know I witter on about them but you can't fault the service) for next day delivery on paints etc. They have loads of Tamiya if thats your preference plus vallejo, (my choice) life colour etc.

hi abo im a brit in south ireland have got paints off them before there very good, im going to try armypaints to see if its any good at least ive found a shop that sells modelling paint

A great link Abo I am thinking of switching from Tamiya acrylics to Vallejo acrylics
