But that PDF is form 2014.   if you go to there web site it shows something a little different.  Of course 2/3's of the enamel paint I currently use look like they are gone.   I guess I'll have to start learning how to use MM acrylics and Vallejo colors.

Apparently it's just some of the colors

So is this a pdf of the colors that they are discontinuing?

 

 

 

Yup.... you better stock up if you want them. LOL!

In all honesty, I don't see why everyone hates MM acrylics. I never had problem airbrushing them. But each to his own...

Hey ;

 Thanks mark ! 

 I got some Tamiya a long while back .I learned my lesson on those .I wonder why MM didn't try harder on their Acrylics ? Anyway , I have tried Vallejo and although not pleased it's serviceable .

Doc, 

I hear ya, prefer using MM over the acrylics on all of my ship models.  With your only local source of MM igone your only option is to purchase on-liine.  Amazon has a very large source of MM paints provided by them and third party sellers.  Also Megahobby (on-line store) has a very large selection of MM paints. 

If you don't have a AB and paint by brush don't purchase Tamiya paints.  They don't handbrush worth a darn.  Vallejo model acrylics handbrush nicely but the parts have to be clean.

See you in December

Mark

Buy online...

Sounds to me somebody wanted to stock up on MM enamels while they're still around. i wonder how much he paid for the whole lot. Out of curiousity, how much he got for them.

Hi Ya'll !

 Went to my favorite Hobby Shop yesterday for Evergreen plastic stock . While there I inquired about Model Master paints . He doesn't carry it anymore !  A customer must've  known something was up , because he called and when told it was there , he came and bought everything including the display ! 

 The owner has has had so much trouble getting it he just decided after that , he would NOT carry it anymore ! Woe is me ! Now what ? Those D#$%^d acrylics ? Gosh I hate being forced into buying a product or something because of " Safety Scares ".

 M.M. has always been good for me and everyone compliments me when I do something with a mix that no one else has . I don't have a place to A.B . So What now ?
