[WWI] Old humbrol wasRE: Hernan Meza is out of the office.

[Michael Kendix]

Neil:

I'm not certain I can tell the difference because I had a 25-year hiatus 
when I didn't build an models.

I use Humbrol now though and I think it's excellent.  I airbrush it, thining 
with lacquer thinner and it sprays great.  I brush paint it and it covers 
nice and even.  I don't know if it's thicker - I just add more thinner when 
I spray, and keep the brush "wet" with paint thinner when I brush it.
