Hey all, I've started practicing with my Airbrush as I need to get ready for Pickel's King Tiger ;-). Ive heard Tamiya Arcrylics are the best to use. Who has the best selection and price? What colors do you recommend for the King Tiger?

thanks!

I always get them at my local Hobbytown USA store, which has a good selection of the colors I need. I've not had much experience with ordering paints online because I never really needed to. I think you can order them directly from Tamiya.

...and Tamiya does make very good quality paints in both the acrylic and oil-based forms. I've used their acrylic paints for years and they typically have the best finish and often the closest paint matches to my 21c items if I happen to be customizing or updating.
