WWII German aircraft paint
Posted by CPT Mac on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 12:04 PM

Need some advice on the best online source for WWII German aircraft paints.  I have several wood replicas that I am starting and I am not having a lot of success finding a source with paints in stock.

What brands do you prefer? Enamel, Laquer, or acrylic?

Just about every paint company has a line of German WWII paint.Modelmaster,Vallejo,Gunze,Lifecolor,WEM,and Tamiya.

As was mentioned,you just need to determine your preferred type

Thanks,  I am on the "notify me" list for several Vallejo paint sets on the Hobbylinc website.  I will try the other sources that you suggest.  Do you have a particular website that you use for your hobby products?

Thanks again.  I have been in the model railroading hobby for 30 years and decided to make a change to model aircraft.  Walthers was the source for all of that stuff.

CPT,

waylandsgames.co.uk in the UK is a good source for Vallejo, as is spruebrothers.com in the States

I have found Vallejo at (and shop at) ScaleHobbyist, MegaHobby, and SprueBrothers.

On the bench:  Tamyia Mosquito Mk. VI for the '44 group build.  Yes, still.
