Correct paint in the UK?

Sorry if this has been asked a zillion times before, but is there a source for the accurate colour Fett paints in the UK or does it have to be ordered from the States?

Thanks in advance,

Al

Yeah, I was wondering about this as well. It seems that Testors and Polly Scale- paint can't be found in Belgium either, so are there any alternatives Humbrol paints maybe?

Maybe this has been posted before, but I found some color charts from different brands that are available in Europe (I think)?

- Vallejo:

- Humbrol:

- Tamiya:

Any ideas which colors from which brands would do the trick?

Can't you buy Floquil paints online and have them shipped to you?

Well, it seems Floquil paints can't be shipped to the UK or the rest of Europe

Not sure this will helps, but Boba maker lists his ESB paint list in this thread, hope he doens't mknd me posting it here.

Personally when I paint my scratch build I'll be mixing the paints myself as long as I can find some screen caps of the ROTJ helmet in natural light I'll be able to match the colours quite closely this way. If you want to go the spray can route, Tamiya colours might be the best route to go, as they have a wide range that seem to come quite close to the oiginal colours, but you could always mist ove the colours that don't match quite close enough with a brighter or darker colour to either lighten or darken the tone. Also don't forget washes will tone down some colours too when weathering them. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks Maverick! Anyone else who has experience with one of the brands listed above?

I would be happy to get the paints and ship them to you as long as there is no legal restrictions on shipping them over.

Thanks a lot Delta75!
But I just found a store nearby where they have a wide range of the Vallejo-paints, so I'm gonna try those first. I'll post some results in a few days..
