I have been using Humbrol enamel paints all my life and have just painted my current ship model, the Dorade from Amati, using gloss white. It is a large (85cm) model so the working time is important and Humbrol beats Tamiya enamel hands down on that score. A few coats followed by wet sanding and a final thinned top coat and the results are fantastic with an incredible depth and shine. I am a brush painter so I can't comment on its use with an airbrush.
