I have been using Arteza and Staedtler water color pencils for some time. Pretty much the same stuff, but AK's colors are more specific to weathering. I mix various colors to get the effect that I want. The AK ones seem reasonably priced for comparison.

Guys, if you don't want a whole set from Megahobby, and want a lower individual price per pencil, the dealer I have used the most for my WWI aircraft modeling items is The Scale Hobbyist, in NH.

https://www.scalehobbyist.com/    Go to Weathering and Detail section, then find them on in the column on the left.

It's very rare that I din't find his prices the lowest for items I am shopping for.

No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.

Jim

Mega hobby has them individually and in small sets (5) , just search on "pencil set", and you will see sets for rust, dirt, ect..

I tried to order these from various sites and finally found that HobbyModels had them in stock and placed my order.  But a couple of days later I got an email that said they were out of stock, so I kinda gave up.  Then, this morning I got a phone call, an actual phone call from HobbyModels, saying that they had arrived and are being shipped. I think I'll be using them in the future.

Looks like something I'll have to investigate. Could be 'really' useful hmmm?
Thanks for the tip Jim.

I ordered a set of AK rust paints from Amazon last week before this thread. The set arrived Yesterday.
The receipt is from www.CompetitionMinis.com. The top of the receipt over their email address reads "Buy Direct and Save" "More products + Lower prices" FWIW.
