There must be a reference chart for the product numbers out there somewhere. Somebody at that hobby shop purchased the paint, they've got to have some paperwork...

On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister

Just called my local hobby shop, Hobbytown USA, and talked to Mike, the owner. He has that particular paint in stock. he says it's a flat.

I've asked about particular colors at two different hobby shops.  In this case it was TS 1 (red brown) and in both shops it sounded like they were guessing.  I can't read Japanese, so I don't know if it states the finish on the cans.  I didn't see any reference to gloss, semi-gloss, or flat on the Tamiya USA site either.

Anybody know how to figure this out without buying a can and testing it at home?

 

...learn Japanese...
