Tamiya thinners.
Tamiya thinners.
Guys, does anybody know where I can get the 250ml square plastic bottle of Tamiya thinners from now? I'm told that its out of production and can only be bought in those piddly lille jars the same size as the paint which for the price and considering I can use a fair bit in an afternoon is daylight bloody robbery at £1.49 at my local shop. Cheers.

Re: Tamiya thinners.
I was always under the impression that I could use IPA (not India pale ale silly) I'll get some of that.

Are you thinning the paint for airbrushing? I know this sounds strange but I use screenwash to thin tamiya paints, dirt cheap but it works![]()

Newbie Question time.....
Does the colour of the screenwash affect the colour of the paint?

No is the answer to your question, we use a bright green screenwash and it is fine even with white paint, and if you live near a Tesco's they have really cheap screenwash
