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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
