Model Forum / General / Models / August 2007Modeling Question From Me Humbrol paint
Too many of my posts have been about business. This sort of is because Humbrol has folded. Does anyone know if those enamels will blend with other enamels that are still being made? TIA Big Al Baltimore IPMS, AMPS Humbrol is still going, it was taken over http://www.hornby.com/news-events/news-story-1,1,HNS.html In the UK, their paints are still readily available, however, the existing range is being replaced by an acrylic range which is reputed to be compatible with the old enamel range. Details should appear here at some point http://www.airfix.com/ MH On Wed, 08 Aug 2007 11:48:10 +0000, max wrote: > In the UK, their paints are still readily available, however, the existing > range is being replaced by > an acrylic range which is reputed to be compatible with the old enamel > range. Replaced or supplemented? And given that enamel and acrylic use incompatible solvents, how can they be compatible?

That comes around to the question is anyone making an enamel that is on the market in a big way and that will mix with Humbrol enamels. I have six kinds of acrylics and like them for a lot of things. Does Testors still make oil based enamel? I do remember it being a very different paint. I liked Pactra better when I was a kid, but I know that is like Humbrol, no more.
