I hope you don't mind me getting in on this... but I have the same problem in Egypt. Can't find any of the products listed in that (THECOMPLETEFUTURE) article. My question is.. would a regular acrylic gloss coat like vallejo's do the job so I can do a wash later with oils, or does Future have certain characteristics that do what regular gloss coats don't? Thanks.

Hi steeldog51,
I bought mine from ASDA. If you don't have any luck finding any I did a quick search and there are many online retailers that sell it mail order.

In the UK the name of the product is Klear and you can find it at Tesco's, Safeways, and many other places. The manufacturer is Johnsons

Hi Hisham i dont know about egypt mate ?
but if you are allowed to have this stuff shipped to egypt i'd be happy to send you some! i'm off to asda to grab me some!
your original question about normal acrylic gloss is i believe that future and klear or what ever ? its a much thinner substance ,like i said i didnt try it yet but i've heard so many people saying its better than normal acrylic
and its about the best stuff for super shiney aircraft canopies too !
and No i dont mind you getting in on this were all a big family of modellers around the world ,its ace to help each other ,thats what the big A is about!

I have noticed that all the replys from this topics is from non-USA members.
You would think somehow something so common in many stores here in the USA , would be available to the UK...
