I have been trying to find a good, dependable, reasonable, online supplier for different painting and weathering supplies. I ordered some stuff from Michigan Toy Soldier Company, and tried to get back into their web store today, but got an unsafe website warning when I tried to login, that makes me a little sweaty, to say the least.
Can anyone please give me an idea of a few solid suppliers that have a large selection of AK Interactive products. I have ordered from Spru Bros. in the past few weeks and they have a big selection of Tamyia, and Vallejo stuff but no AK Int. that I could find.
The closest LHS doesn't carry much weathering stuff. They like to special order everything for goodness sakes. Heck I can order it my darned self, ..... if I can find dealer that has a nice inventory on hand. I was sure hoping Mich Toy Soldier would work out, they had a killer inventory, most any paint stuff that you could think of.
Any info would be appreciated.

I just went to the AAA website but it's very vague. Did some research on them and they got a bunch of very bad reviews on customer service.
Ok.....I went to the Stevens website, I got it. The reviews were on the walk-in store employees, I guess.

Greg, AK interactive USA is my recommendation. Iain is a great person to deal with, shipping is quick and he carries other items too (RB Model, Friulmodel).

Thanks James, I'll check them out too. I need some paint and effects and a needle bearing for my Badger 150. I noticed that Stevens has those instock and they were actually pretty reasonable. I appreciate the help, it's good to have some reliable online sources to deal with when you can't find what your looking for locally.

They are a rude lot, until you get to know them.
