Andrea paint sets

I'm looking to try the Andrea paint sets but cant find anywhere that sells the sets, any idea on where I can get them in Canada or where I can order it from?

Squadron carries a limited stock of Andrea paint sets, but a full line of Vallejo.  Since Vallejo makes the paints for Andrea, either way you get the same product.

It's unclear if Vallejo and Andrea are the same paints. Dealers have told me they are made by differnt manufacturer. They are compatible and interchangeable and equally good, owever.

As to buying the sets, go to The Red Lnacer. They have a lot of the sets and provide excellent service.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I was told by a Distributor that Andrea & Vallejo come from the same source.  The bottles are identical except for the label & the paint is identical as far as I can tell.  Either way, they are both excellent paints & I use them interchangeably.  The local sources in my area only stock Vallejo so the Andrea label paints I have were purchased at Shows.  Vallejo does offer a wider selection of boxed sets, which are useful if you're just starting to use them.

Regards,  Rick
