Right that one pulls your eye directly to it. so now I want you to look below the large one you'll see the 2 horizontal ones as Tamiya has depicted. the vertical one is just the vent with a shadow making it llook larger...or I should say air inlet...

Mstor Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Hope someone in the US will pick up the Tamiya Lacquer line. Looks interesting and I have always liked the way lacquers, in general, airbrush. Edited June 21, 2018 by Mstor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still don’t know why the standard XF acrylic line doesn’t include the ghost grays or other FS colors, though... ...and no, helpful folks - I don’t need a primer on paint types or terminology. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It will be interesting to see if they have anything to offer that's better than Mr. Color or Mr. Paint. Those two paint lines are fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The XF range was made for the Tamiya Military Series, where most of models are German Tanks. So they made RAL paints and classics. They made later sports cars brand color paints and FS colors but in spraycan. And in fact, Mr Color range is better, larger and cheaper. Combine these with Gaia paints and thinners, and you've got the best paint for aviation model kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m glad those brands are good, but none of them are available at my LHS. My point is that if Tamiya looks at how many shops stock their paint, it might make sense for them to expand the range.

They do lacquer paints, have very broad choice, no FS but a lot of useful colors. And cheaper alternatives of Mr Leveling Color thinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
