I visited my local hobby store on ther way home today, and they have NO Tamiya paints of any description :(
They had Humbrol sprays, but I remember reading that these are inferior.
Does anyone know where I can get some Tamiya stuff? Online order or whatever really.

Aha another brit, hard to believe that somewhere nearby u doesnt have them if you're near London? Anyway http://www.modelsinmotion.co.uk is a good source for tamiya stuff online in the uk, i believe they are one of the main distributers in the uk.

How ish is London(ish)? You can send paints using surface mail, so Hannants or other major suppliers could post it to you.
I think it is a case of searching around. I didn't find anything her ein Melbourne until after a few weeks of searching. Now I have everything and more!

I'm just outside North London really. We only have the one hobby shop in town though, I don't know if I can justify £10 to get into London and back just to buy some paints, if I can buy them online.

Yep, GPM is 5min drive away :)
Although I seem to recall them not having paint... Perhaps I'm getting mixed up though.
And HLJ have taken 2 and a half weeks so far for one order, don't know that I want to wait that long to get started on things once the order arrives ;)

My local hobby shop doesn't stock Tamiya paints either, but
the CAN order them and get them within 3 days. May want to ask
them about it.
