A curiosity being very similar to the Tamiya as they perform with a brush?

Kurz, I have not used them on the brush yet. I am not a fan of Lacquers (of any brand) for paint brush, and would not consider it for my personal work, as I don't go there with Tamiya and Gunze also, so the main review focus is airbrushing. But I am confident they will behave positively for those who are familiar with Tamiya, when paired with a good retarder / flow improver. I might get to test and review this feature in the future.

Best,
Julian

They can be used with a brush, they are actually better than the Tamiya for paint brushing. There's no "settling" of the pigments and the need to stir them as with the others. A good shaking of the bottle and they are ready to go.

The problem is that any paint I tried is better than Tamiya by brush, probably one of the worst paint to use with a hairy stick, more than anything else I think it's interesting to know if the second stroke lift the first as often happens with the Japanese paint,the coverage, etc...

You have to let it dry a couple of seconds and then hit it with the second coat. It's the normal way of getting a quality finish with any acrylic and lacquer paint.
