Ahoy mates!

Very recently, I''ve been given the opportunity to examine two sets of acrylic paints from LifeColor, and this "first-look" style review is of the first set, "German WWII Kriegsmarine, Set 1".

How well does this line match up to USN & IJN ship colors? I've used WEM, but I'd like to switch to acrylics, if they match as well as Colourcoats do. What's the consensus?

Hi Ken,
Quite honestly, mate, this is my first experience with LifeColor products, and thus far, the colors that I have seen seem to be comparable to like products that I've used in the past...with ModelMaster doing away with their "Maritime Colors" line, I need a like replacement, and I'm feeling confident that LifeColor will do the job, maybe even better...
