TJTX Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Anybody use the WW1 line of paints sold by Drooling Bulldog paints? I'm struggling to find the colors I want and they have the exact shades I need. Are the enamel, lacquer, acrylic? Do they go on well, mask well? Any info would be greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Never mind found a review from here that answers all the questions. Now I just need to find out where to get them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the PC10 I want but not the linen color I need unfortunately. Guess I stick with "sail" color from Gunze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdave Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I use them all the time. Highly commended. Glossy lacquer with a slight translucency that means depth of colour can be adjusted, e.g. Red barons translucent red alby. Spray neat. Dry in seconds. Can be decalled over. Responds to salt chipping etc. Mask over with Tamiya tape. as it's lacquer, any liquid cement or solvent re dissolves it, unless futured I love them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're out of Arizona too. http://trucolorpaint.com/ I'm currently using their Metallic silver on a build and so far I like the way it sprays. I'm using Mr Leveling Thinner on it.

Carl They say acrylic, but are they like Tamiya? That confusing combination of an acrylic lacquer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I'd say that's probably correct. It does have a lacquer smell to it. The LHS recommended either Tamiya lacquer thinner or Mr Color Leveling thinner so that's what I used. I found it sprays very similar to Mr Color. The pigment is fine, not as coarse as what you see in Tamiya acrylics. I haven't tried brushing them either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can find PC-10 everywhere, but I cant find the "Irish linen" color for the lower wings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 tony, what about these? https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/AKI00002290/product.php?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlPmvivTk4wIVCZ6fCh29Gw63EAQYASABEgJRs_D_BwE https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/AKI00002280/product.php?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_97q3PPk4wIVhP_jBx2Y4AUVEAQYASABEgL-m_D_BwE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely not the easiest site to navigate. But it looks like 1to1 found exactly what you're looking for. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
