Not for nothing, Sean, but, one will have better luck finding a virgin in a brothel than locating a retailer who stocks JPS Colors. The dealers listed at the JPS Modell site either carry a pitifully (maybe in the neighborhood of 25-30 colors, as in the case with 48 Special models) small stock; or, nothing at all. I can't see the purpose of acknowledging a new vendor whose products are unobtainable by means other than what would be considered customer-friendly.
Do you have access to Mr. Popp? If so, would it be possible for you to ask him why his products are so difficult to find? It's all fine and good that he has such an impressive line of paints. It isn't worth the time of day to list them on his site if they aren't available for sale anywhere.

Hi Joseph
At the time of my news story way back in June of this year I was certainly unaware of any dealer/supply issue with this Vendor.
My primary goal with this story like all news stories I post is to bring a Vendor and their product lines to the attention of all forum members.
I am sorry you have experienced this issue.
I am also sorry I do not have direct contact with Mr. Popp.
Cheers
Sean

Thanks for the quick reply, Sean.
It's a shame that JPS (Mr. Popp) hasn't done a better job in finding a distributor for his line. He seems to have a comprehensive line that covers the requirements of whatever niche a modeler prefers to build. I emailed him earlier in the year; but, he doesn't seem to reply to inquiries.
