[WWI] Humbrol paint Substitute

[Crawford Neil]

I had lots of humbrol cans in my suitcase coming home from Telford last
time,
airport security called me over and asked what the strange things they
saw on 
x-ray were, no problem when I explained, but I was glad I was flying
with a 
little company who could do things simply. I don't think I'll buy paint
this
time, which is a pity, because I really need some.

I think I won't attract attention to myself by trying to bring in 
petrolem-based products but thanks:).  Anyhow, I hope to fill up my
suitcase 
with old vac kits and retro football (soccer) jerseys.

It's curious what you say about Testors because some folks really don't
like 
Testors and do like Humbrol.
