Greetings, I recently bought my first Rivendell, an Atlantis.  Wanting to be prepared for the inevitable dings, I have been looking for the appropriate touch-up paint (Testors #2135 Russian Naval Interior Blue-Green).  Sadly, it does not seem to be available anymore.  HobbyLinc[dot]com says it has been discontinued, and amazon[dot]com says it's out of stock and they don't know whether they'll ever get any more.  I checked another model-making supplier who also did not have it (but I don't remember which site it was).

Can any of you folks confirm or disfirm that this paint has ben discontinued?  My local hobby shop doesn't have any.  Have you seen any dusty bottles on the shelf of your local hobby shop?  If it truly has become completely unavailable that would be a real bummer.

Thanks, Eric "Limper" Grim
Spokane, Wash.

Waterford sells “Atlantis Green” touch up paint. It seems a bit pricey to me at $25 + shipping, but I guess it should last a while.

Squadron.com seems to have it available for order:


And, while shipping might cost you a bit, there's apparently availability in the UK:

I also got mine on eBay:

I didn't see the color listed, so I contacted the seller and they said they did have it. They had me pick another color and write what I wanted in the comments. Sure enough it arrived as stated, and very affordable. However, I have not used it yet. If I remember, I will try it out tomorrow and write back.

It looks like these folks still have a bottle or two:


This is the color GP sourced to paint the first ATL, but that was years ago. Color wanders but you can tweek easily to make it match.

If you can't find a source on eBay, you might try this place in Portugal:

I have recently bought model master blue/green hobby paint with the number 2135 on it at my local craft store. I can't say it's an exact match for my 2008 atlantis, but close enough.

Thank you for your replies suggesting sources for the paint.  I intend to get right on it.  Limper, Spokane WA
