We talkin Humbrol paints? I was just at the hobby shop. He no longer carries the Humbrol. He was more than willing to special order what I wanted...until he he saw he had to order a box of whatever. Don’t blame him. The guy behind me said that Scalehonnyist had them. So, with two recommendation, I’ll check into it.BlackSheep214 wrote:Scalehobbyist.com got them for $1.99 each......

Re: Boeing 247 1/72 Williams
order few bottles...10 or 15 maybe? Lost count when my eyes rolled back into my head...Will regular enamel paint cleaning / thinning agents work with the Humbrol enamel? I believe they are a mix of acrylics and enamels. I have a bottle of the acrylic thinner coming.
….and in other news,
Yes, the tradition has continued. I really was careful, since they molded this as a part of the fuselage, but alas....
Not sure what to do to fix this. It will take some cogitatin'

Probably the best seam fit with no filler that I have experienced. This is just the glue joint and some light sanding. I did use a touch of CA on the bottom, the plane, not mine.

Wings together. Nice fit and not horrible when dry fitted to fuselage!

Re: Boeing 247 1/72 Williams
Humbrol enamels thin and clean with standard paint thinners. At least in the past 30 some odd years that I’ve been using them. I have had best results with Testors enamel airbrush thinner for airbrushing.LyleW wrote:order few bottles...10 or 15 maybe?

Their acrylics clean up with water, and so far I’ve had good results thinning them with Testors Universal acrylic thinner. I have yet to try other acrylic thinners to check compatibility.
