>>9017701I honestly can't remember what that recommendation was about.
At this point I use Mr Color 90% of the time and most of the other 10% is decanted Tamiya lacquers. I use Gaia sparingly now that SealModel is out of commission and a new source is yet to be found, but they are great paints, especially fluorescents and flesh tones.
Out of necessity I did try thinning Tamiya acrylics with MrColor thinner once and it was okay but not quite as durable as MrColor paint from what I remember.
