If they turn up in Boyes I might give them a go.

Andy - the blue one is perfect for Union uniforms. You can turn them round (or walk round the table) until you can see the otherwise magic and unreachable shade you're after.

There's already a 'copyright' legal battle over the name of these :)
They look great for a limited scope of uses. I have been thinking about using them on 15mm sci fi vehicles in a Berlin regt style block camo.

Looking at Sword & Steele's video the difference between airbrushing and hand painted is remarkable.

...and you have to use a shiny black undercoat or you seem to just get a pearlescent finish with little 'shift' at all.

Gloss black undercoat is the usual approach for airbrushing metallics too
