Have any of you tried Badger Modelflex paints?

Post by Proud Marine Dad »

I am having Ken send me some to sample as I read good reviews on them. The "Military" colors only consist of 15 colors but I am sure I can use the "Railroad" colors to mix my own as I do with Tamiya paints.

Wow...another brand of paints! I'm sure our LHS will stock the full line! NOT.

These paints have been out for years it's just that many hobby shops don't carry them.

first I've heard of them. Of course, that doesn't mean much. I still use tube glue.

I have tried a handful of their colors. They are ok for brush painting. I have yet to try them thru my airbrush. One of the local railroad shops carried the line for a short while, but dropped them awhile back.

I'll give you a review when I get them.
I'll try them in several Badger airbrushes and see how they perform.

Despite those paints not known to me here on the other side of the planet I am looking forward to your review!
