                        I work in Iraq and would like to have my wife start to send me a few of the many unbuildt kits so I could have some thing to do on the little time I have off to make me atleast feel I have a part of home here my question is can you ship water based paint. My wife will ship my air brush any any thing I need but the paint could be a problem thanks J.J in Baghdad Iraq..

                        Acrylics are fine.  You are not supposed to ship oil-based enamels in normal mail, but who will know?  I had my wife ship me all sorts of Testors MM paints that I could not easily get in Korea when I was stationed there.   Had no problems with them.  Good luck.

                        First off, what is the big whoopie on shipping oil-based paints?

                        JJ take care over there and good luck with your modeling. Are you affiliated in any way to the Baghdad Hobby Club? Sent some kits last X-mas.

                        I have bad experiences with shipping tins of paint. Tins like Humbrol's will pop open because of the pressure variencies during a flight. So you need paint with a screw cap, this will remain on thightly.
