I'd be happy if they retain the bottle-versions of Testors Dullcote and Glosscote, and extremely happy if they re-instate Pollyscale paints, regardless of which name they might choose to use for it. Model Master paint was okay, but only a shadow of what Pollyscale offered.

I do use some Model Master paints, and the enamel stain weathering markers. The loss of Pactra would have bothered me more in my youth when I assembled plastic models (not trains).
I think Testors also used the Model Master name on some tools and implements but have no idea if those too are going to be discontinued. I was relieved to see from my rattle can that they do not use the Model Master name on DullCoat.

PS amended post - Model Master "Desert Sand" is probably their color I use the most, for weathering but also for trim on residential houses and garages. I know Tamiya has a similar color. But I could get Model Master for 40 or 50% at Michaels with a coupon.
PPS yet another amendment to the posting: the latest MR just arrived and I see from Cody Grivno's article on modifying an N scale hopper car that he uses many types of Model Master paint in his work. It isn't that there aren't other paints to use. You find one you like and learn its qualities and nature. And sometimes you find yourself wanting to match earlier work. Modest example, last year I kitbashed houses. This year I'm doing the garages. I'd like them to match.
