Quick question - paints

[fearyaks]

So I dig my 1/48s as they are but I really think the missiles they come with look like crap... simple question here - what kind of paint should I use on them? I remember reading somewhere that the Tamiya paints are kinda crappy so I wanted to avoid those ones unless they're actually OK.

Thanks in advance.

In my experience with Tamiya, the results are very good and stable. However, I aslo tried Gunze Sanyo. Something about Gunze Sanyo really shows superior results and in paint quality. Even though they are both from Japan, I personally like the Gunze. The results just feels right. Whatever paint you choose, be sure its airbrushed. Hope this help!

Thanks for the reply. I should airbrush them? I've never done that before. Does this avoid the streaks associated with using a normal brush?

Again, thanks.
