Any idea on the size of the bottles? Six bottles for $28.87, or $4.81 a bottle. That's fine if they are at least as big as the larger Tamiya bottles. If they are smaller, say 1/2 oz then it's a bit high.

Great news, been using Lifecolour on aircraft for a while now and they are generally very good, the older ones where a bit thick but the new ones are airbrush ready and will paint brush very well also. Now I know what I will be picking up at the UK Nationals next weekend Ciao Luciano
