Who is this paint for?
Scale75 describes the Fantasy & Games range as designed for painting miniatures, especially wargame figures, with a formulation intended to resist handling on the tabletop.
Is it brush-only or airbrush too?
Scale75 states the range is valid for both brush and airbrush, so the same pot can be used for either application.
What finish and format should you expect?
The product page describes a 17 ml acrylic with a satin finish. That is the finish to plan around, since the match table cannot represent surface finish.
What should you verify before buying?
Confirm the Fantasy & Games range and the colour name. Scale75 uses colour names across several ranges, so checking the line avoids picking a paint from a different series.
Which catalog colors are closest?
ΔE compares the listed digital color values only. Each row also compares the stored catalog attributes — purpose, chemistry, application, effect, finish and opacity. A conflicting attribute is flagged as a mismatch, a missing one as unverified, and neither is a physical substitute. How these matches are computed.
