She looks beautiful Terry! Just been catching up after being under the weather and saw the paint discussion a couple of days ago. I just read in Scale Aviation Modeller that the Testors Model Master Paint range is going to be available in the UK through an importer called Creative Models. I swear by Model Master enamels, they spray and brush wonderfully and have a huge range of colors. I tried the acrylic years ago when it first came out and wasn't happy with it but have heard that it is much better now although I haven't tried it again myself.

Thanks Glenn. I'll keep my eyes open for the MM paints, but the main thing is trying to get Iris, at my local shop, to stock an alternative to Humbrol, so that i have a convenient, local supply. She has those and Tamiya, and is willing to stock others - if there isn't a catch by having to buy huge amounts in one go, and take the massive display rack some wholesalers insist on. She's limited for room, but might bin Humbrol if she gets the right deal. I've told her about White Ensign, which have excellent reviews (sounds like what Humbrol used to be!), and she's looking into it.
There are alternatives by mail order, but that's not the best way to get paints, especially when you need just one tin, in a hurry !

Thanks very much Wojtek and Evan. Stalled a bit at the moment - hands too stiff !

[Wurger]

With Evan here Terry. Sorry to hear that. Get well soon.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That stinks, hope they get better quickly!

 

[Crimea_River]

Sad to hear Terry. Hoping warmth and relief comes your way quickly.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks guys. Got caught in torrential rain late evening, trying to change a wheel, which I couldn't manage. Hands froze, I got soaked to the skin, literally, and now feel like sh*t ! Probably be OK tomorrow - I hope !

 

[Crimea_River]

Take two glasses of single malt and call me in the morning.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sh!t Terry, take care man!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Hope your okay Terry, sounds like you could do with a week in the sun.........I've got the single malt.

Think I misread Andy's post - can't see properly now. It did read two BOTTLES of single malt, didn't it ?!!!
