Michael could I just point out that Lifecolor is a product of Astromodel and that Airbrushes.com is an importer.
As for the paint sets, I'll be getting both sets as I use mostly Lifecolor paints

These should be very popular for naval modelers. I'd like to build a corvette with the green color.

Now that White Ensign Models has been sold off, it's great news that someone will be providing maritime colors. Would love to see the U-boat colors next, especially things like _Schiffbodenfarbe_ and other esoteric hues.

Set 1 German Navy WWII

Quite right Joe, they also do two US Navy sets and an Italian navy set, just need a Japanese navy set or two and some French and Soviet paints then most colours will be available in acrylic for those of us that prefer it to enamel.
