I have been thinking of buying one of these for a while and then they went OOP. Saw this on Ebay and went for it!
Got some other bits and pieces, a JLC razor saw and one of their mitre blocks plus some weathering stuff! DSC_1369 by TonyThunder, on Flickr And finallyI thought I would treat my airbrush (how nice am I!) DSC_1368 by TonyThunder, on Flickr

Spud,
I use mostly acrylics and it does the job!
32 oz bottle is the cheapest way of buying it and I then decant into an 8oz bottle for normal use (works pretty good in the ultrasonic cleaner as well).

I think I know this kit... Sorry for the shop, was it a famous one? Well... to be offtopic... Here almost all the shops are gone now. This is the 2. in this year. The remaining ones are mostly only webshops. The biggest problem is the price. $1 = cca 220HUF. The average wage is 140 000 HUF / month (cca $640). In this case average means lot of people earns under this and some earns more... or lot more Lots of people gave up modelling in the past years or they buy less models. The other problem is the mentality of the shop owners (most of them) - they use too big price gap. I order the Tamiya masking tape, and some other things from Hong-Kong, because the price can be 50%. And just some "interesting" facts: 1L gasoline = $2,2; 1 Mr. Color paint = cca $3; YA-12 (full price) = $45... 7% of the average wage. People try to save money as they can... giving up the hobby is the easiest way to save money. Sorry for the off, Gents
