it's been a long time since I last completed a scale model. Since I was 11 or 12 years old. I can't compare the models that I was making than with what I'm making now. At that time I was more "playing" than relay enjoying it. The models I was getting were simple and no paint job was needed. The stickers was all the design they had.
Now I am making more complex models that request a paint job also. A friend of mine recommended me to start with Italieri models but I couldn't find any Italieri paint so I ended up with Cruiser Prinz Eugen 1:720 from Revell
The best thing about Revell was that they have a large variety of paint for their models. The choice is real impressive and they even have water base paint and email paint. I don't know the real difference between water base and email paint but in terms of convenience the water, Aqua colors have some clear advantages: it drys in only 1 hour for the second coating and it drys completely in only 2-3 hours, it is water-dilutable and most important the brush can be cleaned with water. Unfortunately I bought email base paint..... a pain in the ass to clean the brush every time with thinner/diluant.
(the colors from Revell are the best as you can mix them in order to get the right color)
So this is it, I only have to start working on this.
