I know that there were a lot of people supremely distressed when GKUS Creative stopped producing their paint line, me included. So when I won a set of Squadron's Flesh tones set and was told that it's designed to be similar to Gk's colors, I had to compare them side by side.
The squadron set included 3 base colors, 1 highlight, and 2 shaders. I used the paint directly from bottles without deluding it. The flow was nice, and it didn't clog or dry the on the tip of my airbrush. The color itself is more translucent than GK's (Jessie's paint has a more white base, almost like build-in primer). I was told that by adding Flow Control Agent, it makes the paints more translucent, more like semi-transparent version. The finish is slightly more silky than GK's, which is super flat.
The colors are not a 100% match, but unless you hold them side-by-side, it's a very close match.
I will definitely try this paint on one of my future projects, even if my favorite GK-353 Garage Kit Flesh is not matched ð
