tamiya acrylics delayed once again

I can quote some other`s remarks on this thread that have nothing to do with the delay too...it`s called conversation...every thread I`ve ever replied to gets a little off track...maybe you should check out what I`m saying before  you accuse people of spamming a thread.

No, it's called hijacking the thread. There is a reason every forum is branched into threads - so people can keep each conversation on topic. You can always start a new thread about the price of model paints, I am sure lots of us would participate.

I would love to follow this thread and get emails when someone posts, so I know what's up with Tamiya paints, but all this bickering about the price of paint is really filling up my inbox with spam.

I think thay you should get over yourself Len! Yours is not the only valid opinion and you have no right to talk that way to someone expressing their opinion especially a new person. All are welcome here.. Fine,  model paint is in fact VERY expensive per jar! You are right.  Don't buy them if you don't want to.

Back to the original thread, when are the Tamiya paints in fact supposed to be available in any real capacity? Model master and Vallejo pretty much are just fine with me though. Tamiya are just habit. I saw that the white from them that was available most recently was very watered down compared to the old formula. I hope that that is not true for all the new colors.

BTW... to the forums,,,lol!

Something I did learned in a year as a temporary employee at Weathon Plastics (graveyard shift in Puerto Rico) is that often times a product container can be more expensive that the product inside. They also had a building for glass bottle manufacturing, but I never got to see it in action because they only ran 1st and 2nd shifts.

Back to the topic, 2 of my closest Hobby Shops as of yesterday Monday told me that they are getting Tamiya paints with their new label but in small quantities. For the moment they have some X-20 Thinner.

You`re wrong. I don`t think you know what spam is. We`re talking about paint, it might `ve gotten away a little from the exact topic but so what. If you see my name in the post, delete it. I`m hijacking a thread about paint by talking about paint? Get over yourself noob.

Noob or not, I am a paid member here, so my opinion is just as valid as someone with no life :)

Maybe if people like you would learn to keep conversations on topic we could get one thread without hijacking. This thread is about Tamiya being delayed again, not about how much a gallon of paint costs at Lowes, which I could give 2 poops about. If you can't differentiate between these two very different topics, may I suggest some Riddlin to help you focus?

{/rant}

Anyhow, I am still getting no love from SprueBros, one would think they would be one of the first to get a shipment of Tamiya. Anyone who has bought the new stock at their LHS - any noticeably difference?

every thread on every forum gets off topic at one point. get use to it. welcome to the forum world. 

Hey look!  A rabbit! 

Careful Big Red One... you'll be accused of spamming about rabbits... Was it painted with new Tamiya paints?

Spam, spam, spam, wonderful spam.

Sorry, I had a Monty Python attack.

But of course!  Why else would I talk about it here?!

I have read that it gives a tougher finish once it cures. Which would be good as in my experience, Tamiya paints are easily scratched and marred even after they cure. Maybe I'll buy me some of their lacquer thinner and find out for myself one day soon.

For FS26440 (USN upper Light Gull Gray);

1 part XF-20 : 1 part XF-2

I would give it a test shot before committing though!

thanks! how about flat gull gray? 

skyraider needs paint soon. 

Both the base colors are flat, so that will give you Flat Gull Gray. 36440 is the flat version, 26440 the semi gloss. Unless you add Future of something else for shine to the mix, those ingredients will take care of you.

i was talking about a tamiya mix though. i got MM enamal both in flat N gloss and im out of thinner. i got lots of tam acrylics and two fresh X-20 bottles.
