Where to buy Hobby Color / Mr Color paints?

[probedb]

I've got a Hasegawa F-14 to build but there are no equivalents for in Humbrol/Revell for a couple of the paints.

Can anyone suggest good places to buy? Or if they have a different name/equivalent?

Cheers!

A company called MDC seem to be the main suppliers in the UK.

It also happens that a local to me model accessory shop stocks some of their products so I can pop in a buy GS and MR Hobby stuff the old fashioned way.

These addresses might be useful -

If you ask the question on Britmodeller, someone with knowledge of the aircraft in question will invariably give you the equivalent colours from pretty much any manufacturer you could imagine. The colours specified in the instructions are never exactly right, so don't get too hung up on them.

Thanks guys. I've found this to be quite a good resource but doesn't always have matches. http://www.paint4models.com/paintchart/paintconver...

Not sure whether this is effectively the same:

However I did find a couple of errors in the RAF colour listings. It may have been corrected now.

Looks very similar, I think the link I posted is an uber-chart with everything combined
