Humbrol. White. Paint.  :banghead:

I have found that ModelMasters Classic White works really well with a brush. Never had any success with the Humbrol white though  :-X

Humbrol was good 20years ago, now? Well, just wait till I post my GB entry 😢

Even from 20 years ago I found it's not that good. Most of what I had painted with Humbrol white has now yellowed really badly.

Loving the bashing going on here and making a Manchester from a Lancaster kit. Never seen that attempted before.  :thumbsup:

Ok maybe it was 30 years 😐

So I had put this model down from frustration with the white paint. Now I've re-looked at it afresh, with a Christmas spirit (ethanol) inspired mojo, the white appears to now have a distinct pinky tint to it!

A. What has happened?

B. What's the best way to strip enamel paint off?
