Mike Storey Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi  For those of us in France (and maybe other EU countries), who are not already aware, I have found, at last, a French supplier of Deluxe Materials and other, otherwise hard to obtain, glues, paints and so on, which French DIY stores never seem to stock, and which cannot all be posted from the UK these days:  http://www.oupsmodel.com/  I have just obtained Deluxe's 2-Part Epoxy from them, at a reasonable cost and rapid service.  Incidentally, I have also discovered that the retail chain "Darty" is a good place to obtain Revell and Humbrol paints as well as other useful stuff, and their shops are far more numerous than model shops these days.  Hope that might help some of you!  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted August 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 31, 2018 Good find Mike, but regarding Darty they are a franchise and not all stores will stock the paints - mine certainly does not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Good find Mike, but regarding Darty they are a franchise and not all stores will stock the paints - mine certainly does not. Â Thanks Andy - I did not know they are a franchise chain. Ours (in St Jean d'Angely) is fairly new and they seem to stock most of what I needed. Sorry yours does not! Maybe you can order it (but then, I suppose that defeats the object......)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mabel Posted August 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2018 Was in our local ACTION supermarket last week. What a find (for France....). They stock glues, acrylic paints and varnishes (similar to Vallejo), cutting mats, paint brushes, etc etc. All very cheap. Quality varies from excellent to budget, so summat for everyone. Well, everyone who is in France anyway! As an extra bonus, Heinz ketchup was half the price Leclerc sell it for, plus other goodies such as Mars bars etc at UK prices. If you live there, you will understand the relevance of this information 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted September 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2018 In my bit of Spain at least, De Luxe are stocked in my 2 local model shops in Alicante and Murcia. I presume overseas sales are a bit of a lottery depending on local distributorships. Â Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Hayter Posted September 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2018 Probably worth adding that FB Systems also stock Deluxe items Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Storey Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Probably worth adding that FB Systems also stock Deluxe items  Thanks Andy - never looked on their site for this, and Deluxe do not list them as a French distributor. Could be very useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMO Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Darty is now like amazon: Humbrol paints and a lot of other stuff are sold from others companies. Â Read well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
