Don't know how true it was, but there was a discussion on Tamiya thinners a while back on HS, and one guy said he'd actually done a lab analysis on it, and it turned out to basically be a mixture of alchohol that was about 90% alchohol, and it had some fragrance in it. He said that to recreate it, mix a certain amount of the 91% stuff with some of the 70% stuff, and throw in some Old Spice.
Like I said.... don't know how true it was, but thought I'd mention it.
I'm switching from PS to Tamiya. I like the range of colors available in PS, but no matter what I do- thin it, add retarder, shoot at lower pressure, add lube to the needle- PS always gives me tip dry. Tamiya- even shot straight- has not done it.
Only gripe I have is the need to mix colors. But it airbrushes very well.
I'll still keep some PS on hand for brush painting though.
