Mr. Color is lacquer paint and stinks to high heaven. Mr. Aqueous Color (or Mr. Color Aqueous, you see it called both) is alcohol-based and smells a lot less.That Mr wotsisname gives a lovely finish but it don’t ‘arf stink!

Sorry for the pic but as you can see same as dead easy to use. Dave
Cheers John, it’s been a pleasure to build. Let’s hope the paint goes ok!I'll find my seat if you can all move up one please.
Superb job Si as expected, good work mate.
To be safe Si I've been using mr hobby aqueous thinner ,but I've dumped most of my mr hobby lacquer paint like you the dining room table isn't a very family friendly place for it ive been using the mr hobby aqueous paints same excellent finish but no smell ,im pretty sure mr hobby thinners and mr hobby self leveling will work just fine ,I'll try and get a text over to my friend for the answer I'll explain the answer with a pm if OK with you. DaveI’ll have to grab some next time I’m stocking up….what are you thinning with
That would be appreciated mate, thanks muchlyTo be safe Si I've been using mr hobby aqueous thinner ,but I've dumped most of my mr hobby lacquer paint like you the dining room table isn't a very family friendly place for it ive been using the mr hobby aqueous paints same excellent finish but no smell ,im pretty sure mr hobby thinners and mr hobby self leveling will work just fine ,I'll try and get a text over to my friend for the answer I'll explain the answer with a pm if OK with you.

They do Dave, but since the thinners smell more than the paints (to my nose anyway) I think using them would negate the main advantage of using the aqueous range.,im pretty sure mr hobby thinners and mr hobby self leveling will work just fine
Never looked or smelt at it that way Andy but you can get a bottle of the aqueous thinner cheap enough anyway and it lasts forever, blimy barley used half a ab cup full on each kit ,a couple more and there will be room in the jar to thin it downso its good to go when needed. DaveThey do Dave, but since the thinners smell more than the paints (to my nose anyway) I think using them would negate the main advantage of using the aqueous range.
That’s what I thought. I think Tamiya is releasing a 1/48 scale Ambulance soon I read.I looked for the ambulance Si, and basically the inside of the cab seems to be the same as the outside. I know the engine was a turquoise colour by the way……apparently it showed oil leaks more easily.
Sorry for the delay Si ,my friend was setting their stand up at Nuernberg for the show ,but for sure with no problems you can use MLT and mr color thinner across the whole range mr color ,aqueous, and the complete mr surfacer range ,wich is good coz ive still got a fair bit of each. DaveThat would be appreciated mate, thanks muchly
Always the same Chris. Long ago I used the old Profile Publications booklet to scratchbuild an M-113, not long afterwards Tamiya brought out theirs. So, using their kit offering I thought gotcha! and built the M577 Command vehicle, took it up to the local model club for viewing and someone said "Wow! that was quick, they only issued it a week ago...."As much as I do like this kit, and that Airfix have utilised the K2 chassis for a GS, why have so many model companies NOW decided to do British softskins, AFTER I'd fully downsized to 28mm have to scratchbuild!
Do you mean that stripey scheme by that bloke Caunter...Are you going for the Caunter scheme? Go for the Caunter scheme
