Is there a place on the net that I can get these paints? I would like to give them a try. I currently use Tamiya but want to broaden my options. Thanks

Gunze makes 2 lines of paint, one acrylic and one enamel
Mr Color is a 'solvent based acrylic paint' and Aqueous Hobby Color is 'water based acrylic paint' quoted directly from their clor chart, printed from www.wbs.ne.jp/bt/models/rainbow10/emcolor.jpeg
but I've had these for a while and I'm not sure the link is still good.
IIRC Rainbow 10 had a Gunze color chart available..

I was recently told to try these out by a local pro. After telling him that I love tamiya but wish they had FS paints he told me to try these paints because the 2 are very similar. I bought them for my avenger but haven't used them yet. They even smell like tamiya paints. Once I use them I'll let you know how I think they work, but most likely you will beat me to it.

Thanks, Andrew. I just purchased some from Squadron. I think that I will be happy with them.
