Hi All, Mr. Color at one time offered special paint sets for specific items, such as U.S. NAVY COLOR AIRCRAFT, TANK COLOR, and others. I have searched the internet trying to find someone that still had them in stock, but zero success. I did find two locations but listed the kits has “out of stock”, so does this mean temporarly out or discontinued. The one i really would like is kit #CS-653 ,US NAVY COLOR AIRCRAFT. Am i wasting my time trying to find the kit, or does someone know where i can get it. Any help is GREATLY appreciated !! thanks bob conley
Mr.Color is made by Gunze- I believe it is no longer sold in USA. You may have to order it from an offshore site, and wait months for delivery by a slow boat from China.
You can get Mr. Color in the US. Its Aqueous Hobby Color that is no longer available.
Doc, have you tried Lucky Model? www.luckymodel.com
That is correct. Also, Sprue Brothers has a big selection of Mr. Color solvent base paint, including some sets.
Just checked, Sprue Bros. has the US Navy Aircraft set CS-653, here:

Unfortunately, currently out of stock, but if you click “add to cart” they will e-mail you when they get it.
These sets are hard to track down. Its likely that Sprue Brothers will never have that set back in stock, but an email to Gordon wouldn’t hurt. I remember searching forever to hunt down the Mr. Color RAF color sets 1 and 2, and finally found them but I think I lost the bookmark. Did you try ebay? Shipping from luckymodel or Japan can come airmail and usually takes 11-15 days which isn’t bad. If I can find the site I used I’ll post it here.
Edit: Try this site: http://www.super-hobby.com/catalog/Sets-999999.html. They are in Poland but I’ve ordered from them many times before as they also carry Gunze’s Aqueous based paints. They ship fast and offer paypal and tracking. It takes 11-15 days air mail. I’d definitely recommend.
