zero Zero?
So I succumbed to the 1/12th MFH BT52b with the $100+ shipping and start looking for the Zero BT52b paint. Is it correct to say there is no longer a way to buy their paint in USA?

Re: zero Zero?
I know it's not the answer to your question, but "Red 5" a new company, has started making car coded paints, and have a BT52 paint.
I have it, and for what its worth, it does match the Aoshima/Beemax/Nunu BT52b decals. So if the Zero paint matched these decals, then this paint would be identical.

Re: zero Zero?
I don't know about "in" the USA but I just bought some Zero paint from HiroBoy (UK) and had it shipped to the US. That said, I think Tamiya TS55 is a good Brabham Blue.jmpsebring wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 11:17 am So I succumbed to the 1/12th MFH BT52b with the $100+ shipping and start looking for the Zero BT52b paint.

Re: zero Zero?
I know Hobbyworld-USA shows it listed when I search but the product page itself does not seem to want to display.

Re: zero Zero?
Spot Model in Spain is a great source for Zero Paints as well as Up Scale Hobbies here in the US. Though the guy at Up Scale just lost his wife to Covid and was struggling for a while leading up to that. So, I don't know what his situation is at the moment other then I have seen him posting about catching up with orders on FB.

Re: zero Zero?
For those of us in North America, another seller of Zero paints is 'Paints Models and More' out of Alberta, Canada.
You will find it on Zero Paints website Dealer List.
Though there is a webpage, it only consists of an e-mail address. The person behind it is a fellow by the name of Paul Meadows. If you reach out to him via e-mail he will send you his inventory/price list.
I have ordered Zero paint from him as well as many upgrade sets and supplies.
My last order with him was 3-4 weeks ago.
He is very responsive and very helpful.
Regards,
Mike

Re: zero Zero?
Thanks...I thought He was off limits to us. I looked at the ts-55 choice just now. Sadly, it looks perfect. Never really liked Tamiya darker blues. They seemed to be a touch muddy to my eye. Was kind of hoping for something a touch prettier. Thanks all for the info.
