www.spraygunner.com is a fantastic place to get paints and painting supplies. I use them and have never been disappointed. I use strictly acrylic paints for pre-shading and painting, and oils for washes. Do some research and determine what is best for you. I build armor so I use Tamiya, AK. Ammo by Mig, Vallejo and some other brands. I'm not sure what the best paints are for aircraft or ships. Good luck and welcome home.
