Bill_S Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 If true, it would be terrible news for me. A-10LOADER, BiggTim and Jeff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Doesn't sound right to me........Model Master is a staple around here and one of the very few fairly complete ranges of enamels. I hope this is not true LSP_K2, A-10LOADER and Jeff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Possibly. I went to their site, to the page that shows what products they have available. Click on the various categories and see what comes up. EDIT- Originally, when I went to the site, no product came up... But if you wait, the page eventually loads, and shows everything. So, maybe it's just a bad rumor. http://www.testors.com/product-catalog/testors-brands/model-master Edited May 30, 2017 by Lee White Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thats all I use too, and I'm TOO OLD to learn new stuff ! It would be devastating for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) I really doubt the entire line is being scrubbed. There are a lot of the paints that are on backorder till late June or early July. I would be dumbfounded if testors did this and needless to say would be a huge set back in the hobby if they did. Tamiya was hard to get for awhile when they had to relable their paints a few years ago but they came back into the fray. Maybe testors is doing something similar?

Jeff Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 I totally agree, but silly things have happened, and this came from a guy who owns a real good hobby shop, so I'm thinking there might just be something to it.....? I hope not, but I knew if I posted this here, one of you guys would most likely know whats going on, I'm not trying to stir anything up, it is just what I heard, not an hour ago......

LSP_K2 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I certainly hope not. I use Tamiya more and more these days, but for much of what I need, I still rely heavily on these paints, and hope to continue doing so for many more years yet.

LSP_K2 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I've switched over almost entirely to Gunze. I've never forgiven Testors for buying Floquil just to kill it off. That did suck. The military and railroad lines were awesome. Rick Griewski, mpk, Dragon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I was great paint. I can't cross over from enamel, that would be a hobby breaker for me. That said, this rumor pops it's head up every 6 or 8 years. I doubt it's true Jeff, LSP_K2 and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love enamels, and for me acrylics do have their place but enamels are my go to LSP_K2 and Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
