[WWI] Humbrol paint Substitute

[Andy Bannister]

I always bring back Testor's ModelMaster bottles in my luggage whenever I go
to Canada and so far I've never had a problem (surprisingly). I would think
they're more worried about aerosol cans - rightly so - but strictly speaking
it does say "no petroleum products or paints" at the airport check-in.
