Tamiya Spray Paints in UK

[exit13]

I would go with Teflon packing/seals for sure, especially if using cellulose. The rubber seals will swell as they come into contact with it, read my experience of the cheaper airbrush with rubber seals above...
£50 sounds a bargain for a starter set too, not too bigger investment if you don't get on with it.
Zero paints definately go better through a .5mm nozzle for sure and would recommend this. I've used both .3 and .5 on my TR2 but the larger one definately gives better results.

Cheers,

ModelsForSale has some, i don't know how, but they have some...

I picked up some MS-5 from www.modelsforsale.com, and got a few TS- cans from www.moduni.de who seem to carry the whole range.

Hey,

Thanks for the links. It's slightly reassuring to know I can still get some of the paint colours, even if they are all the weird ones, lol.

OK I know this is an old thread, but it seems the best place to update and bring it to a conclusion (I find it unhelpful when threads are left unfinished). I've just paid a visit to my LHS and saw they finally have stock of the new Tamiya sprays almost 2 years after the estimated return date. Also good to see some plenty of stock of the newer kits available.

I had noticed that some of the online stores had the new packaging TS paints on their website but hadn't seen them in actual shops yet so all was looking good except the online prices were much higher than they used to be.
Where'd you see them and what were they asking for them?

Is it too much to hope that they are still around the £4.00 - £4.50 mark?

They were selling them in ModelZone in Holborn. I can't remember precisely but their website shows them for £6.00! A few kits there priced before the VAT rise though.

That seems about right compared to what I've seen.
I first saw them online here.

Good thing I'm off to HK next week.
Time to refill my store I think.
