Humbrol enamels in tthe tinlets used to be the very best paint for brush painting a model. I still have some that's useable even after 30+ years and opened that long - that is the paint tinlet was opened 30+ years ago closed up again and used a few more times since then.

Cheers from Peter

I was only referring to plastic kits Dave. Surrely the folks owning model shops in the UK have a clue where their long beloved Airfix kit are being made.

The Humbrol paints lost their good reputation long ago and since I now use nearly 100% Acrylics, it is a moot point.
However, if it should become a quality paint again it would be good for those still using it.
