Link or address?

By Tamiya Enamels, do you mean the Tamiya Sprays? The reason why I'm asking is that the sprays are lacquer, but I don't really have any knowledge of an enamel line of tamiya paints.

Links?! Oops... You may try to contact via anyway but phone orders...
They currently don't take any phone orders...

If anyone local and visit them...
They do carry (in-store)
- Tamiya enamels 1/4 oz. bottles (most colors, if not full-line plus X-20)
- Tamiya spray can
- Tamiya Cement, Extra Thin Cement
- NO Tamiya Acrylic Paint, NO Tamiya Acrylic Thinner (X-20A)

I am not advertising for them in any ways, just to help locating the enamels... I do visit them for paint supplies. They price the product reasonable, and outcome similar cost compare to online shopping plus shipping

i know for a fact that best1hobby sells them...since i bought them from there, but as for the website i don't know..luckily their store is like 5 mins from my house, so i just go pick up what i need...great staff too! :grinyes:

Also, FYI for the SoCal kids, in addition to their San Gabriel store Best 1 Hobby just opened their open-to-the-public werehouse in Walnut. So 'store,' but you ask for what you want, adn they fetch it from the storeroom. :D

717 Brea Canyon Rd #8
Walnut, CA 91789

that's where i usually go, i've only been to their actual storefront once (since i live in walnut it just makes more sence :tongue: )

but i just email them beforehand (for models, for paint i just show up) and let them know what i want and they tell me when it's there

very nice people :)
