tamiya enamel paints in america?

... oh yeah look on ebay or other online auction sites too!

Try Japanese bookstores(If you have any in your area) They usually have Manga stuff and at least a small section of Robot models and Tamiya paint supplies. I'm sure you can check online for these bookstores too.

Ditto on the above, I've tried to purchase online..it was a no-go at all inquiries to getting here. It's too bad to, a fellow modeler-friend I correspond with online in Japan tells me that Tamiya enamels are superior to Model Master! (with regard to performance and shelf life, especially mettalic colors).

Yeah I've never seen them here in Canada either and I don't think that you can ship it into the US because you can't ship by air because it's a sovent based product and shipping by ground would be somewhat impractical.And of course probably the labeling issue too.

As far as I know they are completely unavailable in the USA. I don't think anyone online is going to have them unless you convince someone in Europe to ship them over here, and I don't think they can do that.

What I heard was, and it could be wrong, that Tamiya doesn't adhere to the US requirements for labeling (basically, "Don't Drink This Or You Will Get Sick!") so they can't sell them over here.
