I just needed a bit of olive drab to airbrush a few bombs.

I opened a 24 year old Humbrol can wirth +/- 1/4 of the paint left, stirred it, mixed it with thinner and airbrushed the bombs. The result is just perfect.

Would any other paint have such shelf life???

Humbrol, I hope that somebody saves it or i will miss it horribly.

I agree , Drabslab my paint collection is around 75% humbrol , the remainder are Valejo or Games workshop acrylics.

Its just my personal preference but when I need a certain colour I allways head straight for the Humbrol paint stand.

Lets hope this isnt the end for the Humbrol range

I only have about 15 tins of Humbrol as its a bit hard to get around here unless I order it.. and I will say it has fast become a favorite with me for brush painting and it airbrushs well.. so even though I'm new to the line.. if it goes I'll miss it.. think I might make a run to the only hobby shop within 100 miles that stocks it and buy up a bunch... just in case...

Am i missing something here, whats all this talk of no more humbrol, i hope your joking,humbrol forms 90% of my paint box the other 10% is tamiya and that i only use now and then and i dont like them that much, we only have 2 model shops here in my home town(plymouth) and these are not that good,they dont stock valejo which i havent used yet, so iam in shock at the thought of no more humbrol please say its not so bill
