Hey guys. Have a trumpeter 1/200 Sovremenny class destroyer to build and need a U.S. distributor of White Ensign Models products. Also, if anyone knows of other "must have" after-market items, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you buy from White Ensign directly. Every time I've ordered goods from them, they invariably arrive BEFORE any other goods I ordered at the same time, even from US companies (I'm in the US). They have their own SR71 for overseas shipping, and it really helps.

Same here. I've had very good response from them purchasing direct.

If you check the 'Contact us' page on White Ensign's site, you'll find a US tel. # to call. Give them your ordering info and they pass it on immediately to White Ensign UK.

Thanks guys. Will go the direct route. I'm normally a armor builder but anything in scale will get my juices going. Thanks again.

I have nothing but good things to say about the service from WEM. I have ordered from them many a time. But now, thanks to the Royal Mail they can no longer ship colourcoats to Australia! So if any one knows of an Australian distributor of colourcoats that'd be great!!!
