If you have Minwax available to you (guessing you are USA based) i would say firstly Lucky You.
Here in the UK i can get it through amazon if i am prepared to pay "a trillion pounds/dollars" for it.
I have seen on facebook many many wonderful builds using minwax so while i have not used it if i could get mupy hands on it i certainly would.
In a number of the modelexpo kits i have minwax is mentioned in the build instructions all the time.
Here in the UK i use products by Rustins or Liberon.
