Post by jelliott523 »

I've been looking to find be some Tamiya X-20 thinner, it seems that nobody has this in stock. Has anyone else seen this problem?

It's hard to find recently. Especially the big bottle of it. I'm out as well.

Some at Sprue Bros.

None at Squadron or Scale Hobbyist.

Hobbylinc site has them out of stock but it did say you can pre-order them. I checked in several sites and all say they're out of stock. Pretty unusual coming from Tamiya.

I still have the big bottle of the stuff unopened. I'll sell it for $10,0000 and it's yours. Shipping is free. LOL!

My LHS is listing it at $15NZD (250ml 8oz) and in stock.
Not sure how youd go about getting it to Idaho. But its there.

"Looks like June for all Tamiya thinners. Had to go through another cycle of lable approval with Global Chemical

Labeling Alliance. Most paints are now back except AS spray colors and the Thinners.

Thank you, Glen @ House of Hobbies

Licensing approval? Negotiations? What changed?
