I’m a MM enamel user too and need to look for replacements in the Military FS and RLM colors since some of them have been dropped by Testors. 

Mr. Color makes a solvent base acrylic like Tamiya and has a much broader color selection and are very good paints.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about MMP so I have a couple of bottles to try out.

Outside of their initial announcement buzz I have not heard anything at all. They may not ship to the U.S. ever if there are restrictions with voc or if it did not sell well in other countries. You may need to go online for them. There is also MRP which is a european laquer paint imported by  Hobbyworld USA at: http://www.hobbyworld-usa.com/Store/index.php?id_category=1248&controller=category. Lots of military colors. Let us know what you find.

Not all of Model Master enamel line are going. Only certain colors. Model Master acrylics  still remain. Why not give Mission Model acrylics a try. There have been nothing but great praise on their paint line. I have several bottles in my stash with more planned to add.

Tamiya paint line are pretty limited as far as color goes. There's nothing wrong with their acrylic line so why not choose acrylics instead? Their lacquer line having 60 colors to choose from isn't something to be excited about.

My suggestion - stock up on colors you use a lot at your LHS. Various online stores still carry Model Master enamels.
