Has anyone used the Testor's Model Master enamels?

Not on action figures and I would not generally recommend it.

I'll second this. I'm moving toward Citadel, but Tamiya is good, probably even better, but does have a strong odor.
I'm coming from Model Masters, as well, and am just not a fan of Vallejo, though I haven't gotten into Game Color specifically. I would actually rank Tamiya as the most comparable to Testors in terms of application, adhesion, and durability, but Citadel isn't that far behind, but does have a fantastic color selection. I actually bought a bottle of Model Masters Enamel by mistake once. The figure I painted is still a little sticky where I used it, and that was almost four years ago that I painted him. Definitely wouldn't recommend. |

Yeah, that's pretty much what'll happen. some enamels will even break down the plastic, almost similar to acetone. Best avoided, for sure.

Tamiya is definitely very similar to Testors if that is what one is going for.

I've had no issues with them. I used to swear by Citadel paint pots, but the dropper bottles have become my favorite in recent years. Sometimes Citadel can be a bit too thick.
