can any one get hold of this?
as every where i have tried is sold out and is struggling to reorder it due to demand. (it's the main colour for german armour)

if any one could get hold of a couple of pots for me i would be greatfull, they are 10ml pots and usualy £1 a pop.

i could pay for them + postage or send one of my older miniatures as a thank you.

I've got some Humbrol Desert Yellow if that's any good; possibly enamel though...

thanks happy

just a couple will do mate (as it's a spot on match for the paint the germans used)

@0000 thanks for the offer mate, but i don't want to risk enamel paint in my airbrush (not used it yet so don't want to take any risks!)

Presuming you want Matt,Mr Poleaxe? as glossy german armour would just look so wrong..........or alternativle just too trendy?

Ermm Huston we have a problem! Calling Mr Poleaxe,the "nice lady" at shop has sole me "Desert Yellow"..............XF59 despite me requesting "Dark yellow" XF69.................to be fair both are yellow,both begin with "D" and both have a XF,,,9 designation,it was also cold wet,and the white haired old lady was about 350 years old.
I was just sticking it into bag to post when this fact popped up.............so I rang grandma,and had words,nice words though!
Shes tells me XF69 is Nato Black (why has nato got a black? isnt black,just black?) anyway,im told XF60 is Dark Yellow,and shes dont a compare and contrast with Desert and Dark,and darks more "greeny"................sigh!
I await clarification Mr Poleaxe........................Cheers

my cockup mate, it's the dark yellow XF60.

if your able to pick that one up (take your time mate, don't put yourself out) i'll pay for the wrong ones as well (as it was my fault that caused the cock up!)

Yeeeaaah your paints arrived from said mad little old lady is "ye olde model shoppe".............where customer service is next to the door marked "dont go there".
Basically little old lady has posted me MORE XF59S............Ive cornered the market,lol.
Im taking them back tomorrow,being super carefull this time,as also in post today came my speeding ticket,and notification of the £60.00 fine,and 3 points on otherwise clean license,which I obtained on last trip to said shoppe....................43mph in a 40 mph zone.Yes im guilty as charged,but is this where the police are? hiding in white vans at bottom of steep hills with cameras?....................is this where my tax goes???sigh!
