This is a request on behalf of a friend but are the Federal Standard Colors Fan Decks still available? I am in Australia so it would a mail order job, My copy of the IPMS Color Cross - reference Guide ( Has the Desert Storm update) is most likely a bit out date. Lots of new paints on the market since it was published. anyone aware if there has been anything more recent published?

Best price is direct from the US Gov...MAN, has the price gone up since I bought mine. Glad I got both the deck and the binder book when I did...I can remember when the fan deck was only $5-6. Not that I paid that by the time I got around to getting a couple.
I updated mine a few years back when both Disney Imagineering and ILM asked me to find them during the same month. This was during work on Pearl Harbor. Maybe that's why the colors, if nothing else, were pretty accurate.:-)

No kidding. I remember free. A long time ago I used to work for Boeing. As a government contractor, we could request any Mil-spec document at no charge. I use to order a copy of FS 595 from the GPO every few months and pass them on to guys in the model club.
