New enamel paint maker offers wide range

If you like enamels, but

have been disappointed by the

shrinking Testors racks, check

out the new colors from True

North, truenorthpaints.com.

At present, the range com-

prises two sets of colors as well

as thinner. The company says

the paints also can be thinned

with mineral spirits and lac-

quer thinner. Series 1 is

matched to Federal Standard

with common colors like cam-

ouflage gray (FS36622) and

insignia blue(FS15450) as well

as some now less common,

including modern USN deck

gray (FS36008) and F-

glass gray (FS36170).

Series 2 presently includes

World War

II paints,

with many

colors for U.S. and British

navy vessels as well as

American and Luftwaffe air-

craft. The series eventually will

extend to 150 colors, in the

near future including 10 Royal

Air Force camo shades, 10

more Luftwaffe colors, and

paints used by the German

and Japanese navies.

The paints come in 16ml

(about ½-ounce) bottles with

plastic screw top bottles. Each

costs $4.99.

Look for a detailed review in an upcoming

issue of FSM. WBR
