Ever since you re introduced me to the hobby 6yrs. ago I've spent gobs on paints, tools & kits... and have enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for all that you & crew do!!!!!
The plastic bottles have a tendency of going hard at the bottom. Much harder to shake the bottom lose imo. Glad I kept the glass bottles and will just refill.
I love the ATOM colors, they are my new goto colors for both brush and airbrush. I thin them with 3rd gen, but only 10-20% otherwise i feel they get to thin. I have never really gotten 3rd gen to work with airbrushing.
I've had a Fengda 183 for about 18 months now, the slightly more expensive one with the Iwata style floating nozzle. It's replaced my H&S Ultra at nearly 1/3 the cost. Absolute bargain.
Thanks for the video Phil, been looking into the Atom series of paints and trying to find out what sort of thinner to use with them. Not sure if I am ready for the leap to spraying lacquer paints and they look to go down super smooth.
Thanks for the review! Unfortunately the new RC colours are not the same as the old ones - at least not the colour. I have a glass bottle SCC.15 and bought one in the new "livery" and they are VERY different shades of green. Not slightly, very :(. I also tried the AMMO and those are not exactly sturdy. Very nice to spray them, lived up to the hype, but even after a few days of curing if I scratched the paint with my fingernail it left a mark. Didn't removed it, but the scratchmark was visible. It became shinier than the otherwise very matt paint.
Apart from modelling I restore old m/cycles and recently ordered some parts from Strasburg which travelled clear across France and entered the UK within forty eight hours. I recieved a demand for import tax which I expected and sorted. Now two weeks and two Emails later, no response and no parts! Royal Mail is Fecked!
It's very annoying all the problems with parcels in the post...even I stopped ordering in the UK......but we all know the reason for that. It wasn't a good choice, I think.I´m sorry for that. Cheers
Ohh Phil... You cut back to you when She was obviously sad.. Nice touch. This world is getting crazy. People are gunning/stabbing each other down on our own streets. And we are afraid about terror. You are just Shutting down the "little mans" way of living. I am by no means saying that your business is small, but I hope you get my meaning. Bad guys get their guns, but you get overflowed by paperwork. This is NOT the way... Regards from Denmark....

The Atom paints also thin well with Revell Aqua thinner and Vallejo thinner.
I've gone 100% acrylic recently and I really enjoy using the AK3G and ATOM ranges. Any plans to review the new AK Real Colors acrylic markers?

Just little Thank You after using advice as jumping off point I am still happily using 3 Gen paints 😊

Hi Phil, how does the Fengda airbrush spray compared with the expensive brands?

Good to know! I only used them on the test but I'm now hearing that the drying time for the ATOM paints is 48 hours or more.

Mind you even letters coming from Holland can take a week why is that ?
what's your standard mix?
For real colors 70 thinners to 30 paint and the ATOM acrylics 50/50, Hope that helps

Hopefully we can get this sorted as it's hurting small business in both the UK and EU :O(
