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? Bruce the Texas Grognard |

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. |
