Jim, do you happen to know the brand name and who manufactures them?John was asking about a new range of enamel paints from Ukraine the other day. I rather like enamels and although they may be seen as 'old school' they airbrush nicely, are pretty robust and dilute well for washes. There are not that many hobby enamels around so if Humbrol cease to be maybe the ones from Ukraine may be worth a look.
Too bad they don't have any Wehrmacht colors.......might have been a possibility to replace my diminishing supply of Testor's Model Masters that I have used for the past 30 years.There are also Phoenix Precision enamels…..
I used them quite a bit for railway modelling in the old days, and they were as good or better than Humbrol. They certainly sprayed better, their quick drying air thinners, in particular, was excellent. Not used them for a long time though, so they might have changed the formulation like Humbrol have.
By Golly, I'd take 'em too!Pity you aren’t in the UK Rick, you could have the ones that I’ve got. Can’t see me ever using them….
Well that answers the question doesn't it.
I have today seen a video on You Tube in which an Employee Of Humbrol stated that the Humbrol Enamel range WILL BE RETURNING as soon as they can get them through. Be that production or checks/tests?-In as far as you can trust the writings of a random person on the Internet, of course, but it seemed legit
According to PR people, no publicity is bad publicity, now many are talking about a paint that used an anti-skimming ingredient, which from the tins I painted with, never lived up to its claims.Just think how much Gossip/rumour/guessing and other forms of speculation could have been avoided if Humbrol had just posted something up on the Website as soon as they Pulled the paints from sale.
