Way back in the 70's a company in the UK named Gloy introduced a very comprehensive set of colours with a much wider range than Humbrol. Within a year Humbrol brought out an even more comprehensive list of colours to fight off Gloy's challenge. Brilliant for the model maker at the time, until Gloy's challenge was killed off. Many model shops at the time were a bit reticent to hold another range of paints other than Humbrol's anyway.

Result Humbrol won out. Gloy's range disappeared, and within a couple of years or so Humbrol were cutting back their range of colours. Sound familiar?

 

So yes, pick up those current colours now being axed and place them in your stash!
