It's a good paint! I've used it on one of my projects in the past. It brushes lovely right out of the tin. I airbrushed it nice when I got the mix right. Had a cheap Chinese Badger copy airbrush back then with a 0.3mm needle at 15-18 psi with two parts paint and one part tap water plus a couple of drops of acrylic retarder. As for the water I'd recomend you to use distilled water as the water quality differs a lot. The tap water is of good quality here n' drinkable but it's safer to use distilled water. But I put down a primer layer first with Vallejo's nice primer as I don't recomend Lifecolor or any other true acrylic direct on the plastic.

In the end it dried rock solid n' I was very happy with it. The colour hues that Lifecolor have is also good. This is the project I used Lifecolor on! MERKAVA Mk.IIIC | Project by McCoy (1:35)

Thanks for the advice Urban, I will make good use😉 I see the results on the Merkava are more than excellent, the idea of a primer color seems to me good, I read that these colors are a bit delicate and peel off easily

Direct on the plastic yes but they do stick to the primer. Don't forget the retarder if you're airbrushin' 'em!

Hello,
I started the kit and now I'm nearly to the paint ... I'm finding difficult to identify the sand base color correct to start. Some people tell me that I should use the Life Color (dedicated set) because it is the most correct, but frankly I'm not familiar with this type of color, then I read something about these colors and do not speak ... Do you have experience with Life Color ? Tricks to use?
P.S. Hope you like the work I've done so far.
