Where are you guys buying Revell paints? I just got the Revell land rover kit and the color call out is 32149. Looking online its 2$-8$ a tin with ridiculous shipping prices - one was $45.00. So wondering if anyone has a state side option.
As an aside I was looking for P-61 canopy masks and found one in the UK - the only one I found actually and the guy won't ship to the US.
Maybe we should setup an import/export group here...

Re: Revell Paints
A shop here in Tempe is supposed to start carrying the Revell paints and other supplies as soon as they are available here.

Re: Revell Paints
When I was in Germany with the military in ‘98 and ‘99 I picked up a few. Those tins are now over 20 years old and still as good as new. I think that speaks volumes to the quality of the basic product. And I do like that they have a good selection of colors that work well for post WWII armor and aircraft, as well as other colors.

Revell Aqua paints are actually very good for brush painting, I have a few in fact. The only reason I've never brought that many of them is the seemingly constant need to mix paints for the correct shade.
