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.

I'm with you on that Frank. It's a lot cheaper abo and I've used it for ages.

Any particular brand?

I use expensive stuff, £1 for 1ltr from £ shop, it even washes car windscreens

isopropel alcohol rubbing alcohol thats what you use to thin tamiya paints

bubba beat me to it tamiya paints alcohol based so any neat alcohol will work.......
ps dont use vodka i arledy tried that

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

Yeah, it is for air brush work. I have a drum of the stuff in the garage, I'll try it thanks.
