Question for UK modellers
Posted by KJ200 on Friday, January 2, 2004 12:14 PM
Does anyone know where I can get Gunze paints in the UK.

My LHS the Aviation Hobby Shop has an extremely limited range which they never seem to re-stock.

Having tried some Gunze I want to switch to this make for everything due to the quality of the finish I can achieve.

Trouble is where can I buy it?

Try the aviation hobby shop in west drayton(near heathrow) They used to sell that stuff a few years back. It's the only place that I've seen it in the UK.

Rob, thanks for that.

I'll look them up.

Having used Gunze a couple of times I can't beleive their paints are not more widely available.

Thanks again.

Thanks for all the feed back guys

I now have a full list of MDC products, that they e-mailed to me, so if anyone wants a copy let me know and I'll send it on.

Some very good stuff on list, maily for aircraft, but some stuff suitable for armour too.
