Good mail order Tamiya paint stockist (UK)
Posted by Milairjunkie on Thursday, February 11, 2010 3:54 PM

I dont suppose any of you guys this side of the pond have any reccomendations for anyone who stocks Tamiya acrylics & can mail order in a reasonable time frame?

The last couple of companies I have use have been on the bad side of poor, the first never fulfilling the order & the second taking a month to supply a selection of popular coulors & a further two months to fulfill the shortages! Not bad considering both showed ample stock of all items I ordered.

Any advice appreciated.

I hope one of those you have tried isn't Hannants. I always swear by them. If it says its in stock then it is. I have never waited more than two week for an order. Although i have never oredered Tamiya paints as i usually get them local and i usually do large orders from Hannats, over £100, and its always a mix of items.

I have used them before, but they usually take 5 or so days minimum & then extra 2 days because of "remote location" I am looking the best part of a week and 1/2 to get antything (5+2 working days), I was looking for something a bit faster?

Thanks.

A week, you must really be in their good books. I got my last order in 9 days and nearly fainted. But i do really like them. Have you tried Relish models. I have only ordered a kit from them, not paints, but they were very fast, think i got mine in two or three days.

I ordered a full set of tamiya X and XF paint ( 90 plus paints ) from models in motion and received them within two days, I had put a wrong digit in my credit card details, and about ten minuets of ordering they had phoned me to rectify the problem, overall great service and delivery. Highly recommend them.

Graham at Relish models is very helpful, also Modelsforsale.com have always been good to me, they also get Tamiya thinners X-10 from time to time which is rare as hens teeth here (UK) at the moment.
