Where are you in Ontario?????
I am assuming that you are not near a hobby shop.
Maybe try Maritime Hobbies out of Halifax, NS. I know he will do mail order, and I know he has Tamiya paint in stock....not to mention MM Enamel and Acryl, as well as Humbrol.
Here is their website, send them a mail or call them to see if they will ship out to Ontario....they do all over the Maritimes, so I am assuming they will ship out to Ont.

I see Northstar has a big selection of name brand paint, but you cant pick the colours you want.

Tapper, are you close to Toronto? If you are, head on over..
The price you see if for single pots.. You should be able to buy singles

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of B.F Nowhere. Toronto is about a 23 hour drive.

Tapper,
How far north of Toronto are you? Even Kenora isn't 23 hrs away
I know there used to be hobby stores in Sault Ste Marie, Sudbury and North Bay that used to stock Tamiya paints. The hobby stores in Barrie also stock Tamiya paints.

HI
FYI, the store in North Bay closed about five years ago .,..
You may also wanna try Tiget Hobbies in Wpg...Nortstar is likely your best choice.
My local shop, Leading Edge carries them so if you have no joy drop me a line.

I'm 2 hours south of Kenora(Fort Frances). On the border of Minnesota and almost Manitoba. I'll see if Tiger Hobbies has a website. Thanks.
