What is the difference between Enamel and Acrylic paint in terms of model building?

With airbrushing in mind, what are the pros and cons of each? I dont want to know the chemical differences just the different finishes and which one is preffered nowadays.





Many ThanksWhat is the difference between Enamel and Acrylic paint in terms of model building?
The main difference I find is that acrylics are easier to use, as you can dilute to the required consistency using just water, rather than thinners.





As for the finish on the models, there's little to choose. Enamels I find give a little thicker finish than acrylics...





Ultimately I find acrylics give a decent finish, and are easier to work with.
