White ensign coulorcoat - Us Distributors?
Posted by DrCemento on Saturday, May 13, 2006 9:36 AM
Is this stuff sold in any US outlets? All my usuall haunts online and off don't carry it - hoping to save a little bread on the brutal exchange rates and shipping from england - I'm really liking what I see with these guys colours!

Thanks Hippy-ed
     I think I should have Qualified myself better though... I'm most interested in aquiring their russian airforce colors. (supposedly the best in the business!) I'm so temped by this stuff for my latest projects i may drop the big bread and go for it...  but I should know better, this are starting to filter over here and somebodys gotta carry them!
    By the way - that B-17 is up in Napa now - been flying all over - going to try and get over to see it today now that we've moved up here! I see your in stockton - ever make it over to Berkeley ace hardwares Hobby basement? love that place!

It's rare that I get over to the Bay Area these days... I don't get out of town very often except for taking the g.f. to see the Dr. in Sac. & the ocassional late night run to Reno with my father.
AO is to be in Sac pretty soon & I may try to get up there if I can...

  Sorry for the delay hippy-ed, but yes! great selection, Allot of train stuff, but a couple guys there really work on the owner to keep the aircraft stocked to the gills. the owner himself collects kits and has over 5,000, in addition to who knows how many in store - tons of obscure stuff lots of eastern european - I could get lost in there for hours! they have also been working on improving paint, tool, expanding an already great aftermarket selection, especially since San antonio went under! if you get the chance treat yourself to a day trip, you won't be dissapointed take the universit exit, drive up university till just before you hit the campus, and it'll be on the left. -J

No Dice on either - you gotta see it to believe it! their main aircraft expert is Robbie. he works Monday through wed. call ahead if you looking for something specific, though I don't have a number, I'm sure it would be easy to find! their display case features soome great local talent and is also worth the effort! good luck

Assuming they haven't run out, you can find the WW2 VVS Colourcoats at Meteor Productions (http://www.meteorprod.com/).

Cheers,

John Snyder, White Ensign Models

PS: Remember, you can always ask your favorite hobby shop to stock Colourcoats, as we offer trade discounts to retailers.
