I hate dropper bottles... I hope that the store owner is mistaken.
So do I...

They will have to get new display racks for dropper bottles for the line. The glass bottles are much wider, and will tip in those wider troughs.

I've yet to try the AK stuff but I'm a huge Mr Color fan.
Some amazing 3d printed car bits for a few projects. That's a modern 392 hemi (had one and looks spot on) and few other bits. I will spend too much money with Iceman collections!

I really do like the AK interactive Real Color line. Sprays nice. I like the Mr Color stuff too. Scalehobbyist list as Gunze but you get Mr. Color instead even though they’re the same company.

I`ve had good results with AK but Mr. Color is my most reliable.. When I run out of a color in Modei Master that`s where I go first.

Tom, since you use AK Interactve, here are a few questions for you about the brand… do you hand brush and airbrush the stuff? If you hand brush, does it dry glossy for you? If you airbrush it, what thinner do you use with it? Lastly, have you tried AK 3rd Gen, and if so, how do they compare?
