My wife was being dragged around model shops by our son today and liked the look of this so brought it home for me



Talking of my lad, I'd mentioned that I didn't have many colours for the figure I'd just got so he passed on a boxful of stuff he was given but has never used. Over 40 paints, mostly model color. Not bad for a freebie!

All better than my delivery from Amazon, an empty packet ! Said it was handed to resident, NOT.
At least I was offered a full refund.

I'll definitely give that a go. VMS stuff is generally very good.

Its good stuff andrew , just have to be very careful as it can be stringy in application , plus getting the pin back in the needle tube is like threading a sewing needle! Definitely need the optivisor for that !

I was just about to reply with the same info. One more thing to add is that when the tube is new, through capillary action, sometimes the glue just wants to keep coming out of the hypo needle. Be ready with a tissue and the top and you’ll be fine.
