Italeri synthetic round paint brushes

Greetings,
Does anyone know a US online dealer who carries Italeri synthetic round paint brushes? I mean who actually has them in stock (unlike GreatModels)? I tried to order them from the UK, but the shipping from the UK was about three times the cost of the brushes, and I really didn’t feel like forking out 36 GBP for 8 paint brushes.

Thanks!
Rory

Why Italeri brushes? Don’t you have an art store that carries other brands?

I use all Golden Taklon brushes myself and they are cheap at the local Michael’s store.

Go to the source: www.testors.com . I’ve ordered from them before. No problems at all.

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.
