I realy envy you guys that live Stateside.You have access to Testors and other paints that we cannot get here in the UK. I wish I had a relative living there who could send me stuff. I would have thought that some enterprising entrepeneur would have imported these paints to the UK as there must be lots of people like me that would buy them. Ah well, we live in hope. Nolan.

Hi Nolan,
I could be wrong but I'm sure that I read in one of the UK modelling mags that Testors products are now being imported into the UK. My mags are at work, break time reading, I'll check on Monday and report back. Drop me a PM if I don't
Have you tried White Ensign Models (WEM) "Colourcoats"? They are readily available and WEM will post them without you having to order anything else. They are also wonderful to use and are my choice, always

Hi Mal,
You're right! According to September MAI (nr. 62) the Model Master range is now being imported to UK by “Creative Models” (www.creativemodels.co.uk)
Wish someone in Portugal would be so "entrepreneur".....
Cheers.
