Testors paints?

I am in the uk and am trying to get hold of testors acrylics but cannot find anywhere that sells them. Does anyone know of a dealer in the uk or europe, or anywhere that will ship to the uk. If not does anyone recommend another brand that is available to me in the uk. I am new to airbrushing and have used tamiya paints and wanted to try something different. Vallejo i understand is a good make but have not tried them yet.

Cheers

Dan

Have you tried emailing Testors and asking them where and if you can get the MM acrylics over in the UK?

Testors MM paints do not meet the latest European requirements for the labelling & documentation for the import of hazardous chemicals. So, in other words, it is illegal to import them into the UK (or EU for that matter).

The Vallejo Model Air paints are superb and do not need thinning. And the colour range is big.

S'n'M are about the cheapest UK suppliers I've come across and they do the full range with bulk discounts....
