Okay the good and the bad. The first set I bought was very problematic. Only one of the colours worked for me and the rest were garbage. My last T-64 was garbage after the fiasco. But I really like the shades. Customer service sucked. I decided to try again and the second set I got was the newer stuff that has a ball bearing in it to help agitate the paint as you shake it up. Now I have only used the light green so far, but it sprays on way better than the first batch.
So what I like: The shade of paint, the very easy coverage it gives, ease of clean up.
I used Vallejo Russian Green Primer as a base.
Hope this does not scare you off.
I have most of the sets by the way. Also here is what I have used Ammo of Mig on.

And the St. Chamond, but I didnt take a pic Unfortunately I put it aside until I was ready to do the funky cam ind it got broken.
I guess I would have to say over all I like them.

Okay pulled this out again today. Got about an hour is which was nice. Almost all of the ERA blocks are mounted. Just the them and the side skirt ERA to install and finish painting the turret. Then finish decals and a bit of weathering. See if I can finish by this weekend.

That rocks man!! What a sweet model of a real mean looking beast! I got to pick me up a couple of these in 1/72 scale..... and soon.
 
Thanks guys. appreciate it. I'm glad this is coming to an end. All decals on, detail work started. Hope to give a dullcoat this afternoon and then some lite weathering and finish picking out details through rest of week. Then I can finally finish a kit. The taxi sign is .5mm plastic sheet cut to size and decals installed. I think I'll do a Rebel BM-21 next from one of the other Spetnaz groups assisting the rebels.
