I'm sufferring from withdrawal over Tamiya's paint selection in the U.S. After weekis of searching, I realized it was staring me in the face. http://www.coastairbrush.com carries most of Tamiya's paint line in 3/4oz., that's right 3/4oz. jars. You can also pick up parts for your airbrush. It should be noted that I have no affilliation with coastairbrush. Just passing on a good find. Enjoy.

I have always gotten mine at Mega Hobby. Never had any of the colors I needed out of stock.

Megahobby is expensive. And, they don't have anything larger than 1/3oz. For a penny more, you can get a 3/4oz bottle from coastairbrush.

I just got some frome scalehobbyist!!! I stocked up and got two of the big bottles of flat black. The labels are a bit different, but nothing major. I have not airbrushed it yet, but I assume it will be the same. They had most of the colors back on there. but not the big bottles of flat white. I assume they sold quickly. But I was getting to the bare bones bottom of my stock! I was mixing flat base with normal tamiya black!!! Oh the desperation!

Good. I prefer to make a large order, rather than a few bottles at a time.
