Bill I agree never had issues with tamiya or mr hobby acrylics but the AK matt varnish seems to have changed from the original.

Pete, I use Dullcote, it works perfect. I'm sure you'll fix this.

That's too bad, Pete. Sounds like maybe an old stock issue to me. I've never had any problems with Tamiya either. I also use Dulcote with good success.

Pete that really sucks with AK stuff, but then AK paints need a speical hand anyway  . I use Dullcote from Humbrol and Modelmaster also, both work great indeed. Also use Revell Aqua matte and Italeri acrylic matte, both perform well too. In fact the Italeri is as good as Modelmaster enamel  . The VMS stuff I bought at On-Track, but haven't tried that yet. |

Cheers Paul, I didn't manage to get any of the VMS stuff at on track but a package is winging its way from Poland as we speak! I'll have to wait for that to arrive before continuing I think.
