Paint In Jars

[mr. Rallying]

I remember I used to brushpaint lexan bodies with Tamiya paint from jars years ago. Are these still available? I couldn't find them on Tamiya's online catalog.

Tamiya took them off the market for labeling issues but have not sorted it or given any info on when/if they will start selling them again!

Most annoying as I prefered these to the spray cans when you want detailed work or to touch up a model when the paint has been damaged etc.

Madness.

Ok. I'd like to get my hands on these again as I'm thinking about trying airbrushing.

What thinner do you use with these paints?

Without being disloyal to the Tamiya brand, I would thoroughly recommend the Pactra range. You can find a few of the Tamiya paints around, but for whatever reason most of them were withdrawn, I do feel it's unreasonable that they been unavailable for so long.
