@Jakko To be fair it is quite well known that Hannants Xtracrylix/Xtracolour range is just about the best RLM paints on the go. Which is great if you can get them to spray correctly lol (never tried the Xtracolour enamels though). I am getting there with them and have virtually the full RLM set. They certainly are good colours.

Among people who build a lot of WWII Luftwaffe models, probably — I didn’t, and in fact didn’t even know they made acrylics nowadays

That doesn’t sound too encouraging …

To be fair most of the problem is down to me. But they are not like Tamiya or Vallejo where you can just pour and spray. But for true colours they are fantastic. So taking yourtie and thinning correctly will give you great results

You can never go wrong with some basic colours: black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, medium grey, medium brown, and a light metallic (silver or aluminium). There are often little bits to paint in colours like these, or ones you can mix from them (black + brown = dark brown, for example) so just having them at hand will probably prove useful at some point.
