Anyone know of a brass set that would work for a modern US carrier in 1/700th scale?

On a related note, who handles White Ensign paints here in the US?

Thanks
Steve

Thanks Mark!

I went ahead and ordered through Great Models, but it sounds like they have had some difficulty in procuring the paints and it was a special order item. I guess it works out in the end, I also ordered a 1/350th USS Hampton which is a pre-order and will take maybe a month. So, with that and the paint, it would be almost like... a Christmas present to myself.

Thanks for the time and the help bro.
