Does anyone know if there is a distributor or someone who handles White Ensign paints here in the US? I know that Squadron carries some of their products, but no paint. I'd like to stock up on several tins of Haze Gray....and a few others.

Steve

You should ask directly to John Snyder, who is also a Armorama member (dlgn25).

I think Trident carries them. They are one of our sponsors, and he usually goes a little below retail, plus the product will be shipped from US rather than direct from England. If not there, check out Pacific Front hobbies.

I checked both, Trident had WEM, but only the PE sets (paint and PE were listed together) Pacfic Front only carried IJN colors and Italian colors.

Thanks for suggesting them though.

I noted that Colpar was listed among them. The next time I'm out in Denver I'll swing through and stock up.

They make good stuff. Bet you don't get out of the store with at least a dozen different colors :-)

That's what worries me...I may need to sell a few pints of plasma before I go :-) :-)

The last time I went to Colpar, I came out broke and in trouble with the wife! But boy did I make a haul!
