After being hard to obtain in the UK for years, ModelMaster paints are set to become widely available again, thanks to a new distribution deal announced last night.

Hi Paul

The word from Stuart White of Creative Models is that they'll be available from 400+ outlets!

All the best

If those outlets decide to stock the range? My LHS can get items from Creative but I doubt they will stock this range as sometimes the minimum order amount doesn't let them justify the order as demand in the area would be low. Personally for things like this, mail order could be the best way to go.

Hi Allen

True - I should really have said "to" rather than "from" 400+ outlets. It's still fantastic news that the range is going to be so much more easily available in this country.

All the best

There no doubt about that as after trying the dull coat i can't wait to try the rest of the paint range and their "Metalizer" paints

I just so happened to be in the LHS while the Creative Rep was there. I asked why they only had the enamels and spray paints on their website and was told that he doubts they will bring the Acryl range to the UK as they're hoping to distribute Vallejo Acrylic paints instead. Sad news if this will be the case as i now prefer acrylics
