Italeri is no longer imported by Testors. MRC is now the US Distributor.
I've found some great brushes at Hobby Lobby, in fact some of the brushes I picked up as part of a 'bargain' set turned out to be brandname brushes. Using the 40% coupon they were super cheap. An experienced eye and a willingness to check something you wouldn't normally consider can give you quaility at a very affordable price. This set (10pc) ended up costing me less than the brandname individually packaged one. Same brushes just in generic packaging.
