A day or two ago, Rowan Baylis (Merlin) posted a review of the new range of Xtracrylix Paints which are available from Hannants As this was such an interesting subject, it seemed that this item deserved a news story to complement Rowan's excellent review. The review can be seen: HERE
Xtracolor are better known for their excellent range of enamels. For many aviation modellers they were the first 'port of call' to obtain correctly mixed shades - particularly in FS (Federal Standard) shades. With this new range, they will doubtless re-establish themselves as market leaders in model paint...

Xtracrylix Paints are acrylics which means no problems with toxicity, less wear and tear on the airbrush and thinning with water or distilled water. This range of paints are also unusual in that they dry gloss - saving th eneed for a coat of varnish or Kleer.

The Full list of the paints are:
