Authentic color Drooling Bulldog

[Eric Armstrong]

Hello all,

I talked to Sergey and here are the answers to your questions:...

Eric Armstrong: the red and blue are new colours mixed specifically for RFC roundels...

Cheers

Ondra

How does one acquire them?  I do not see them as listed on the website for ordering.  Are they a custom mix for special ordering or will they soon be listed along with other colors, such as those RFC PC-10 and 12 colors and other German colors, such as that Hanover lozenge mix that was being shown earlier in this thread... ?

Many thanks Ondra!
I'll get an order in for some.

Cheers,

GrahamB

P.S. May be a spur to get back into finishing a WNW kit or two - been "on the Dark Side" building 1/700 WW1 resin warships (HMS Monmouth and HMS Commonwealth).

I too am very interested in the RFC roundel colors.

Hello guys,

Warren and Eric, I see that I sparked bit of an interest here The reason why they are not on the internet (I believe) is that I asked Sergey how difficult would these two shades would be to make for him and he said easy and made them for me. Im a big fan of spraying roundels (or any markings for that matter) and thought It would make perfect sense to do so on my SE.5 I don't want to talk behalf of him but I'm sure he can tailor these shades for anyone who requests them (email I guess). Also It was slightly higher price. But I still maintain that you get what you pay for and thats worth it. Lets hope there will be more people interested in these shades and they might eventually pop up on the website too

Thanks Ondra, I appreciate the quick response. At least I know that a larger order won't add to the shipping costs. Perhaps I can hit a happy place where shipping and numbers of bottles seem more reasonable to me  I really want to try a few of these in the near future!

It would be nice if there was a retailer in the US to sell the paints. I debated ordering a jar or two to try and when I saw the shipping I ordered a lot of paint hoping that it would work as well as others have said.

Maybe those of us in the US can pool our resources and buy a big batch of paints?

I was thinking the same thing...there has to be a few guys in the US that would love to be a retailer of these great paints.  Last Cavalry carries a lot of cool stuff.  UMM-USA has a lot of Eastern European items.  Ondra, have you to looked into North American distribution?  I would order, but I feel like $22 US to ship is a lot...even if a few people did a bulk order in the US and split the shipping we would still have to send it out once it got here and paying more shipping and it seems like we wouldn't save too much in the end......

[WarrenD]

I too would like to see a U.S. retailer. As you said zavod, even if we went in, somebody's got to do the labor to split it, repack all of it, arrange for package pick-up, AND charge domestic shipping. All-in-all, a royal pain in the rear.

Until a retailer over here is found, my (and I assume a good many folks' here only hope) is to save my money and order a BIG lot of paint and hope I use it all.

I have reached out to an US retailer who does just this, buys hard to find stuff from Europe in bulk and then sells it to us here.  Hopefully he can make some arrangements.

[von Mertens]

Dear colleagues! I don't accept too the price which you have to pay for order shipping . Recently  the owner of a hobby-shop in USA, contacted me to the offer on cooperation. I hope that we will find the solution soon. Thank you that you stand behind a Bulldog. Regards Mertens

Fantastic, this is great news......

[Eric Armstrong]

I see that PC-10 and 12 are in the lineup of colors.  Will we see other shades of these PC colors and will we see the neutral grey color (sometimes called Battleship Grey) also associated with RFC sujects, too?

What colours can I use for a Dr1?

Hi:

I just received my order of Drooling Bulldog paints. I got the four color linen set and the 10 German colors. Didn't get a free coffee cup or anything else for that matter.

Very interesting packaging with paint inside brown bottles and numbers instead of color names on the German colors.

I cannot wait to try them out. Any suggestions or hints that I should do when I paint?

Thanx,
Carl
