It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps 'em on the knife.

  Vallejo 903 acrylic is said to be close. I haven't tried Vallejo yet, but they are supposed to be very good. Several sellers on Ebay if all else fails.

Vallejo is good stuff, up there with tamiya for quality and more importantly consistency of colour

I've used it for years and find it generally very good with good coverage and strength of pigment. There are several ranges within their list including airbrush ready, model and game colours. I do still use Humbrol enamel for priming small parts though.
