i see that the latest issue of SAMI magzaine has a full page ad for these new paints
inside the front cover. has anyone found any model shop that is stocking them yet?
and if they are are they any good?

There's some reviews of it over on the Britmodeler forums. To summarise - wide range of colours, should be easily available - altough availability is a bit patchy right now. Quality is OK - not as good as say Vallejo, but OK.

Ive brush painted my Lifeboat with it. The matt grey was fine, but the gloss dark blue was a bit iffy - I had to clean down the hull again & repaint it.

I picked up a few random colors off mr models back at the tyneside show, so far the matt colors seem ok, the jury is still out on the metalics as ive not had to much luck with them so far. Any one who has used Gamesworkshop paints will be familer with the new humbrol range as they are made by the same firm.
