It looks like their newest paints are coming in 10ml bottles. I noticed this with the new dark yellow and the green and brown for wehrmacht armor camo. So I looked at an online vendor I use, and all their bottles are now priced the same as this and it makes me wonder whether they have switched their entire range to 10ml?

Tamiya has offered the 10ml for close to 15 years now and
to my knowledge the 23ml are still being made but do not
export to Canada and many other countries.

They also still make their line of square enamel paints but
don't export to many countries.

Been awhile since I have seen the big bottles.

Sprue Brothers sells both 23ml and 10ml bottles.

I just bought two 23ml jars from a recently restocked rack at a HobbyTown USA near me.

Jeez, you fellas are lucky. Haven't seen the large bottles in these parts for around 20 years and their enamels and panel liner are much the same. Something to do with labelling apparently. Obviously the market here isn't worth the effort.

The only 23ml bottles in the UK recently were X20A thinners, and even those are gone now in favour of the smaller 10ml ones. Fortunately thinners come in plastic 250ml "jerrycans" too, at a reasonable £5 (or 20p per 10ml which is far better than £2 for a 10ml jar! That rather suggests the actual glass and plastic lid are most of the cost, £1.80 here in the UK, while the contents are cheap, so of course they don't give us the bigger more cost-effective containers! (I have several 10ml jars that I top up from the plastic jugs for use at the airbrush station...). I did see empty 23ml jars for sale at Modelsforsale and snapped some up for large-quantity mixing pots. If you can still get paint in the bigger jars, grab it before it goes!

Scalehobbyist.com sells in Tamiya paint bottles in both flavors.

The larger bottles haven't been offered here in Australia for quite some time now - however the price stayed pretty much the same as the shelves restocked with the newer 10mL bottles.

Once I saw the smaller bottles rolling out, it was always fun running around the various hobby stores, grabbing what I could of the larger bottles of my most used colours.

Interesting. I'm in the states and it looks like the market one is in may make a difference at the moment. Here, I had not noticed that some of the bottles I bought are 10ml bottles. The bottles look like they are approximately the same size. I just noticed when I went looking for the new wehrmacht colors as the website labelled them clearly as 10ml bottles. Checking through my bottles just now, I see that some of the bottles I bought locally (before the shutdown) are 10ml bottles. The price difference seems to be 75 cents here - 3.25 for a 23ml bottle, 2.50 for a 10ml bottle.

our local Hobby USA is phasing out the lager bottles and selling the smaller ones for the same price. More profit for them I guess
