Oh come on Vallejo ?!
Right, let me first state that as a model paint the paint itself is fine. Same consistency, flow and coverage as you would expect. My issue is the colour.THIS IS NOT ULTRAMARINE BLUE ! Hahh, now that's out of my system let me explain.Ultramarine is a specific pigment, which gave rise to the colour it is named after. Ultramarine is a bright, red shade blue which is relatively weak in most paint systems - meaning you need a lot of layers to build up otherwise you'll see the primer/undercoat through the paint. This stuff is likely an indanthrone blue - a dull, almost greyish blue with much higher covering power. Sorry if that sounded like a lecture but too many years in the pigments industry makes me critical of this sort of shennanigans.Vallejo have obviously taken the cheap option of using something other than ultramarine in their ultramarine paint - which to me is a rip-off as I ordered the bottle as I wanted an actual ultramarine colour.

Thick paint
I’m used to the Vallejo paints which are designed to be airbrush ready so I was surprised at how thick this Game Color product was. Once thinned and thoroughly mixed with distilled water however, the paint sprayed perfectly and once dry, did not lift when masking tape was applied then removed. Overall, a very nice paint.Every product I review is one I have purchased myself.I rely on unbiased reviews when making shopping choices so that’s exactly what you’ll get from me.

Converted to Vallejo
I bought a number of these paints having only used Citadel paints before.The colours i bought were to try out Gold nmm painting technique. I haven't done this yet but have used them for other projects.I really like the bottles which allow easy application onto a paint palette. The colours themselves are well described and a good consistency before watering down.I think i'll buy the majority of my paints from this range going forward.

Mistranslated from the Spanish - Not Brass.
"Bronce Pulido" translates to "Polished Bronze". Not brass at all.The colour of this paint is not Brass and is not intended to be. It's a very slightly brighter version of "Bright Bronze" 72.057.

Lighter than it looks but still good colour
Much lighter than the picture suggests. Still a very useful colour of course. It's a light leather colour.

Great product for airbrushing and the container allows controlled application
Great product for airbrushing and the container allows controlled application. I would prefer to have a ball bearing in the container to help mix the paint, but I would not deduct any points for the omission of this.
