http://www.best1hobby.com  They now carry the line.  I don't know of any other US source for the stuff.  They have plenty of it.  I dropped by their store today and noticed they were running at bout 85-90% of stock.  Their next shipment is sometime in october.  They've been getting a decent amount of orders for the stuff.  I absolutly love this lung killing paint.  

Also, if you are interested in tamyia enamels, email them.   :wink:

That's pretty cool news. I'm so tempted to just switch, but you know... the whole lung thing.

After I have done my first kit, I realised how I love these Hobby Colour  water base Acrylic paints:

1. The colours they produced, though not as good as the lacquer type, are pretty good
2. They dry slower, thus no "spider webs" on air brushes!
3. They can be hand painted straight from the bottle!! But do it on smaller parts only.
4. They are non-toxic
5. Best of all, they can be easily removed using Windex!! And when paint is striiped, it WILL NOT affect the primer!! fantastic! I cannot count how many times I have stripped paint off becos of splats from my air brush.

But too bad only the Lacquer paints have Gundam Colours pre-mixed. Wonder why they do not have equivalent for water base acylic.
