Where can one find these illusive paints?

Are they in the small spray-can form, or what?

They are recommended for the PKD-II kit.......anyone?

I think you can get them in spraycan but the airbrush comes out looking better. I usually order mine from Testors web site. They have secure online ordering.

Hobby shops may or may not carry them, I got tired of finding that the hobby shops don't usually carry the full line of Testors paints so I started ordering them. Not as easy as going to the store, but I get what I want.:)

Be sure you are ordering the Buffing type they have a non buffing type.

Most Hobbytown USA locations carry them. This may vary from store to store as I believe they are individually franchised. All have stores can order any particular color if they do not regularily stock.

I agree on "easy to find".

Here is my RR PKD, done all with Testor's.

Well, the two hobby shops in my local area don't stock it, (in fact the guy said "Testor's metal-huh?") and both are dumping all the railroad and plastic modeling stuff (supplies, etc) to go totally R/C. One even changed it's name to R/C Hobbies.

Screw having them order it when I can do it myself!:)

That's a nice looking PK-D!:)
