Guess What?
Posted by Tanker-Builder on Friday, April 16, 2021 12:39 PM

I know, I don't usually start my posts like that:

        I just came from my local Hobby Lobby. I was able to get the following colors in Flat in the 1/2 fl oz Model Master Bottles. Tan, Classic White, Red, Guards Red, and Rust.They also had what I call Pea Green ( lt.Olive?), Olive Green and Dark Olive Green.. In the larger bottles they had about four bottles of each on two rows.Then below that was all the Acrylics. Above, the Square bottles of Regular Enamel 15 colors and above that the square bottles of Acrylic, also 15 colors.

        So as they say Wait Awhile and things will change OR, Hobby Lobby has a whole lot more in the warehouse than I gave them credit for.

Our HL has quite a few MM paints as well but they are changing over to Vallejo. Our Hobby Town is completly out of MM but has Vallejo, Mission Models and Tamiya as well as others instead.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

My Hobby Lobby has little of the MM paints remaining, but seems to have plenty of the little bottles of hobby paints.

However, I see that my Hobby Town has taken a huge step up and has filled their shelves with a bunch of brands such as AK, MMP, Vallejo, and even Revell, both enamal and acrylic, in addition to the Tamiya they already stocked! In addition to that, there is a brand new rack for Mr. Hobby paints. One of the employees said the paint was in stock but hadn't stocked the rack as it all arrived late in the week.

There are other paints there as well for figures, fantasy, Mech, and I don't know what else.

It's been a learning curve for me as I had always used th MM paints with a bit of the Gunze Sangyo Aquaeus (or however it is spelled)

On my workbench now:

 

Fujimi F-4K Phantom "Yellow Bird" and Zvezda Su-27SM Flanker
