Where can I find the paint?

You should have no trouble finding the appropriate paints on Amazon. I prefer either Testors enamels or Tamiya acrylics. If you paint it as a Pearl Harbor Defender, you'll need neutral gray and olive drab. If you paint it as an AVG (flying tigers aircraft), you'll need RAF green and Dark Earth. The underside of Flying Tigers aircraft were a lighter shade of gray than neutral gray, possibly RAF sky. Flying Tigers aircraft were originally designated for the UK but were rerouted. You'll also need flat black, silver, interior green, rust, and yellow. There are probably a few other colors I've forgotten. If you don't go through Amazon, a local hobby shop or possibly a Michael's will have most of what you need. By the way, liquid glue gives a better appearance than tube glue. You might also want some canopy glue (a white glue) for the canopy.
