I saw an announcement from Mission Models back in April stating that they were going to be broadening the range to include a lot of useful paints, but since then I have heard nothing. Instead, the Web site now shows several colors as "sold out" and there is no hint that new ones are coming. Is the expansion of the range still going to happen? Is MM postponing it? Or are they winding it down? The "sold out" part is what triggers my concern that the paint line may go away. I was thinking of trying the paint, as it has gotten very good reviews, but I'm not willing to invest the money and time required to learn it if the brand will cease to exist. Anyone know?

I just browsed MM website and didn't see any of the previously released colors labeled as "sold out".

The website includes aircraft colors which are, as far as I know, not officially released yet. Some of these are labeled as "sold out", but as I said, I think these are still in production.

I wrote to Mission Models on their site and got the following reply:

Yes the line is 100% in production. The new colors will be available in about 10 days

Thank You

Mission Models



It's good news. Now to await the new colors.

The were at the Seattle IPMS show in April with the colors they've released so far. My understanding is they had quite a following and thier paints were very well received. There is one LHS in my are that carries thier full line.
