Whoa! If you list the colors I'd be willing to split if you like. I'd kill for their dark anodic gray metalizer - my utility paint for so much.

LOL... when I first saw the Model Master paint rack, my heart jumped and got excited. However, it was not a full display rack of colors but a couple rows in between. I'd say at least 100 - 150 bottles left, maybe a little more. I know there were no metallizer colors at all. I grabbed the last P-5 Navy Blue Grey, Burnt Umber (acrylic) and Afrika Dunkengrau '43.

It looked like he had quite a bit of RLM colors left - maybe 4 of each color. Didn't really look since I was looking for colors I needed/want.

Considering shipping costs and weights of paints, plus the rack, I’d seriously think about transporting myself if I bought them. How far of a drive is it for you?

2 hrs, 10 minutes. I would most likely pick it up myself. Don't need the rack though. :whistle:

I did send him an email though to find out what's his offer and how many bottles of paint left of his current stock. Told him I don't need the rack.

I finally got paid and so decided it was time to get some things off the wish list and into my stash pile. It also helped that a number of sales were happening that helped.

And that's it so far. I should be digging into some of these very soon.

I'm just wondering, how can you still find 1:72 kits you don't already have or have built or or ??

Finally heard back from Performannce Hobbies. Apparently, I sent the inquiry to the wrong Performance Hobbies that only specializes in model rocketry, no kits or paints. Oops….. :bag:

Steve is a good guy. He frequently comes to our AZ AMPS meetings here and is working on his upcoming releases when he attends.
