model masters vs. regular testors paints

[aaroncrombie]

For detail painting:

Are Model Masters paints worth the extra cost? Are they much better than standard testors enamels?

I have a couple of tamiya (clears for tail lights, etc.), but acrylic just doesn't seem to stick nearly as well. And about 1/4 of the testors standard enamel paints are just kinda crappy, almost like they are slightly dried up even though new.

Thanks.

if you are talking about spray paint, yes modelmaster is better than testor (still tamiya is the best)

if you talk about bottle, then it's the same paint, but it's 14ml vs 7ml...

I use maily acrilyc color by modelmaster.. flat color are really good (better than tamiya or testor)

still my paint supply are about 8 tamiya, 10 modelmaster, 30 testor and few humbrol (5 or so)

Its the same stuff. More color selections in Modal Master. You don't get the unique colors, such as turn signal amber, stoplight red, steel metallic, etc. in regular testors enamels.

With the exception of gold, steel, silver and amiminum, I actually prefer the Model Masters Acryl. Especially good in flat, as the other poster mentioned as well.

im not a fan of MM sprays. I used testors and tamiya regular paints mostly unless I have to get MM
