Looks like Amazon has them too

I have been using Arteza and Staedtler water color pencils for some time. Pretty much the same stuff, but AK's colors are more specific to weathering. I mix various colors to get the effect that I want. The AK ones seem reasonably priced for comparison.

Guys, if you don't want a whole set from Megahobby, and want a lower individual price per pencil, the dealer I have used the most for my WWI aircraft modeling items is The Scale Hobbyist, in NH.

https://www.scalehobbyist.com/ Go to Weathering and Detail section, then find them on in the column on the left.

It's very rare that I din't find his prices the lowest for items I am shopping for.

No affiliation, just a satisfied customer.

Mega hobby has them individually and in small sets (5) , just search on "pencil set", and you will see sets for rust, dirt, ect..

I tried to order these from various sites and finally found that HobbyModels had them in stock and placed my order. But a couple of days later I got an email that said they were out of stock, so I kinda gave up. Then, this morning I got a phone call, an actual phone call from HobbyModels, saying that they had arrived and are being shipped. I think I'll be using them in the future.

Looks like something I'll have to investigate. Could be 'really' useful hmmm?
Thanks for the tip Jim.
