Bummer. My Aztek airbrush has a lifetime warranty. It'll be interesting to see if someone picks it up

Ah, they were only making 95c profit, instead of $1.
Bl**dy bean counters !!

Wow, just wow... I really liked their Model Master line...

Airframes · Oct 26, 2019

Yes, so did I.
Started using the MM paints when Andy gave me some when he was over here back in 2015, and loved them. Still got some of the Luftwaffe colours, but have been unable to replace RAF colours, which seem to be already discontinued in the UK.

Get used to it guys. You only have to look at the age of the average modeller to see where this hobby is heading.

With everything in the Model Master line being discontinued, I knew that it was only a matter of time. Hopefully, someone will fill the void on their smaller enamel bottles. No wonder I've been switching from plastic to card models.

Thank you for the heads-up on that!

Thanks brother! Funny I couldn't independently confirm the full extent of this "rumor" when I first heard it. Should have been a red flag that something was not quite correct.

Airframes · Oct 29, 2019

Good to know, but shame the MM paints won't be exported to the UK.

Crimea_River · Oct 29, 2019

I can be your export company Terry. Just shout.

I was weaned on Testers, but absolutely loved their Model Master's line.

I'm still trying to find their Universal Thinner since I haven't seen any at the local Hobbytown lately. I know that Michaels never has carried so I'll have to try Hobby Lobby next.

Airframes · Oct 30, 2019

Thanks Andy.
Looks like the Colourcoats (ex-WEM) paints are doing the job - just got to get used to the thinning ratios, but they spray and cover nicely, and are accurate colour matches.

That's a creepy thought unfortunately.

Capt. Vick · Nov 1, 2019

Enjoy the golden age while it lasts...

Terry, if you do come up with a specific thinning ratio, would you mind posting it my friend?
