Yes, they are the best paints I have ever used - fantastic color selection, incredible brush and spray properties, and extra durable. Only one problem for plastic modeling applications; they’re synthetic lacquer based, and the solvents are extremely “hot”. Model meltdown is almost certain. And once you hear the price of a tiny tin of these paints, hobby brands will seem a bargain!

Those paints are great for their intended use, unfortunately they are a waste of money for most modelling subjects other than autos.
