    HI Jakko yea that's what I thought when lookin at the boxes either the 1/32 box is way to small or the 1/72 box is way to big something funny there ?

            Pete i hate to think how much that stuff costs now I used to buy it in 500ml bottles for £2.99. When i heard they were going to discontinue the old formula i bought 5 bottles and they have all been sold for over £20 a bottle. Crazy.

              Hi Alan put it this way it's bread and water for Christmas dinner and the good lady has stopped my pocket money, you can still find it in the US but I would have to sell the house to buy some.

                Pledge FloorCare Multi-Surface Finish is apparently the same thing as Johnson’s Future Klear or whatever the exact name is.

                  Hi Pete,
                  Like Alan, I have a big bottle that I bought years ago. I have never seen these bottles and it was never sold as a modeling aid just floor polish.
