Hi all!
I was wondering if is still possible to buy the so famous FS fan deck ( that comes with paint chips), if so what´s the price?
I´ve heard that for foreigners the price is higher than to us citizens, is that right?
There are any options besides this one?
Cheers, and thank on advance

Any help here?

I'll do some digging when I get home. I remember something in FSM several years ago.

Just found this on FSM's website (in the FAQ section):

An FS number indicates the official United States' Federal Standard color applied to the full-size military subject. Many model paints come in FS colors. You can obtain a fan deck with thousands of FS colors from the government by sending $35 to: Specifications Section, General Services Administration, Federal Supply Service, 470 E. L'Enfant Plaza SW, Suite 8100, Washington, DC 20407

Matt,
Thanks for replying, but a friend of mine made a consult to this address you indicated and they want to bill $250.00 to an oversea order, I think it's too much! Have you sure about this price you indicated?
Cheers

Paulo,
That may be true. I can't seem to find anything on the GSA website.
I'd be willing to act as a "Middle Man" if anyone outside of the US would like me to.

Paint chips

Matt, thanks for the site, I´ve told you about the overprice...
What´s the diference between the 595B Color Book with Change Notice A
- 611 1/2 x 1 inch paint chips to the Fan deck - 611 1/2 x 2 inch paint chips?
Just the size of the paint chips?
Cheers

Paulo,

This may explain it 595 History

Thanks Matt for the help, I'll check and if I can buy it I'll let you know, maybe you could be a bridge to me in this matter.

I'd be willing to, if you need me to.

Matt

Thanks on advance Matt, if I need it I'll let you know!
