Humbrol enamel paint.

[Britman]

I was in the Hornby shop this morning in Margate and was pleasantly surprised to see a new ( incomplete ) range of enamel paint. I am aware that there not everybody's cup of tea but they are the only paints that I have used in fifty odd years. I have tried Xtracote but could not get on with them in the long term. Incidentally, on the floor was a stack of the new Vulcan kits reduced to £50.

I heard that Humbrol have had to make their enamel to a new formula due to new regulations.

Perhaps someone might know for sure and be able to confirm if this is correct?

They had to change the anti-skinning agent. They were caught out running into a sunset date which banned sales to the general public. The new regulations had been announced 2 years prior.
