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...

We have some UK members...Stuart Templetom.

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

Never tried them but I have heard of them.

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.

check on ebay. I see 3-4 sets from us sellers.

Haven't bought any yet but have heard good things about them.

lol! I'm always stunned by the shipping costs to and from the US!

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.
