Super Sanding Single Giveaway winner: Chad Salmi
Hi Stuart and Anthony,
I have attached a picture of the super sanding single you guys had sent. I received it on Friday and it was perfect timing as I started a 1/35 Hind build today and put it to good use. It is amazing and I will be buying the set shortly! Thanks again and I love the podcast!
Thanks,
Chad

LATEST HOBBY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Testors official discontinuing Model Master.
https://www.facebook.com/testorscorp/posts/10163143980115262
As a manufacturer of paint products, we have a long history of producing hobby kits and supplies. To that end, we are evolving our strategy to focus more keenly on Testors, our flagship brand and are discontinuing our Pactra, Aztek, and Model Master Brands as the demand for these products continues to decline.
We will continue to support the hobby market with a robust line of aerosols, brush paints, tools, and accessories and always looking for opportunities to innovate in these categories. Please keep in mind that we do have limited quantities available and hobby shops will have access to that inventory.
