It looks like since Testors bought Polly-S paints that they are doing away with the military line. I am quite disappointed. Polly-s has always been my favorite paint. They airbrush well, brush well and are excellent for dry-brushing. I have found that most online and LHS are reducing or dropping the line, due to lack of supply. Does anyone else feel that we need to ask Mr. Testor's to keep this line around? I have personally found Polly-s, or pollyscale, more 'user-friendly' than Testors Acryl, especially since I spray indoors - no nasty solvent fumes as with enamels and lacquers!
Thanks for letting me vent,

They were discontinued a while ago. The railroad color line is still being offered, but my guess is the military paint set competed too closely with the MM acrylic line.

Hi,
I personally would have liked to see them still around. I liked useing them. I also like the Vallejo and DOA paints so I'll stick with them.
