I haven't tried the Lifecolor paints yet but am investigating them myself. I discovered that they are readily available here in the US from Sprue Brothers (www.spruebrothers.com).

Good luck (also from NJ)!

Yes I know about Spruebrothers that's where I have purchased all of the colors I have now.But they don't have the full range so I tried Astro model in Italy where they make this stuff they are cheaper in price but the S/H will KILL YOU!!I have had nothing but GREAT success with paint range.Hope you try it ,I think you will like it to.Where in NJ are you from?

Happy Modeling

Do you know "Der Sockelshop" in Germany which also sells all the range of Lifecolor paints ?

I sometimes order over there.

Postal charges are not very expensive for France, but I don't know them for the USA.
