Are these Out Of Production? I ask this because I can't find US, Soviet, Late War British, Early and/or Late War German Armors. I have been able to find German Desert British Desert and Italian Armor But they instead of having a Numeric price code they only have a couple of letters. What gives?

I certainly hope they are. I bought 3 cans and 2 of them leaked badly.

Check out Army Painter, I believe they were the makers of the Battlefront paint and may have comparable colors.

I had several that leaked badly before I got around to using them; I got in touch with Battlefront who told me that it was a known problem and because of it they had taken the paints off the market. They also very kindly told me that because I hadn't bought them directly from Battlefront, then they were not prepared to do anything for me; how's that for customer service? Fortunately the company I did buy them from gave me a refund.

Why not take a look at Warsprays from Plastic Soldier Company?
Available in the USA through The Warstore or Michigan Toy Soldier Co.

That's how companies work. If I buy a Mr. Coffee coffeemaker from Target and it doesn't work, I return it to Target. If I buy spray paint from Lowe's and the spray can doesn't work I return it to Lowe's, why would this be any different.

In other news, these primers were very hit and miss and expensive. I have for the most part been able to find reasonable substitutions from various spray paint primers who do camo paint colors. Takes a bit and you have to ask around but you can find things that are very close on base color.

I thought the Army Painter colors had taken over the Flames of War line?

A good alternative to rattle cans is a cheap (And I mean as cheap as you can get it!) airbrush/compressor combo. You can do all your priming, basecoating and varnishing. Will cost you less over time than buying new spray cans.

Warsprays from PSC are superb, and significantly better than the FoW versions. FoW sprays are miles better than Army Painter, but the cans themselves sucked.
