Scooby Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I am curious if any of the shops have got them in yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey1968 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I have been looking for them but no luck yet in any hobby store in my area (Newfoundland). I am interested in trying them out, if I am unable to get any in these parts, I will order online. Please post if you do find a store that stocks them. Darryl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darryl I've checked and asked in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Vancouver, and Buranby. I expect we will get them first. The US is having the label problems. I hear up here in Canada a couple who work at Borgfeld take the bottles home and night and re-label them on their free time as they watch TV in the evenings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah, nothing here in Sunny Sub-tropical Southern Ontario as of yet, either. Will let you know when they show up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galileo1 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Are these enamel washes Tamiya is offering? Never seen one so I'm curious. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Never heard of, and therefore never seem them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I see they are appearing in the US, anyone see them in Canada yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Still no, but sadly I can't get to the big stores in Toronto anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

galileo1 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I see they are appearing in the US, anyone see them in Canada yet? Where did you see them in the US, Scooby? Would like to give them a try. Thanks, Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Luckymodel probably ahs them in stock... justs saying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Where did you see them in the US, Scooby? Would like to give them a try. Thanks, Rob I didn't see them in the US but I have seen a few online builds where builders in the US have stated they are using them and that they located them in the US. I don't think we will see them in Canada. I just heard they are solvent based and the boneheads who say "yay" or "nay" don't let that type of stuff into Canada anymore. They are worried about us drinking it or something. I'd be more worried about them taste testing it then modelers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithery Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Just got word this week they're in stock in Ottawa. Have 1 of each set aside for me, and will pick them up today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CyNaKyL Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 And I thought we got things way after everyone else down here in little old NZ. I've had these for about 3 months and a little hint for you all, they don't work well over future. It just beads up and webs and makes a mess. I have used it several times over bare tamiya and gunze acrylics with good results. On flat paint it tends to stain the underlying coats a bit (and becomes very hard to take off) but on a semi or gloss coat they come off really nice and work well. Hopefully you guys get them soon... - Gaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

randypandy831 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 after reading tamiyas description, i honestly don't see anything special about it. it's just so called thinned enamel paint in a bottle. "These enamel paints are ideal for highlighting panel lines and other details to give your model a more realistic depth. The paint has been pre-diluted into the ideal viscosity and can be easily applied into crevasses such as panel lines with the brush on the bottle cap. Once dried, any excess may be cleaned up by using enamel thinner. (Bottle contains 40ml)" thats just my 02 though. who knows, it may work good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Anyone? Maybe you've seen them already, just bought the three different bottles at Daleys Hobbies in Whitby, Ontario. They look and smell like typical enamel paint, the brush in the cap is very fine. Will try on my mustang build. Don't usually work with oil based paints, should work OK on Tamiya clear Acrylic.

Don l seen them advertised but yet to see one (would help getting to my LHS) l find it is hard to get stuff since they feds put the kibosh on bringing solvents based paints over the boarder (Floquil is getting hard to get)Even Gunze falls into this category I heard so I wonder where this product falls?

Personally, an oil wash is more forgiving and much easier to clean up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
