I have an existing bottle of tamiya panel line accent, and it's half full. If I want to dilute it, can i just pour lighter fluid in?

It's pre-mixed already!

Anyone know how to get spare/replacement parts? Lost the side skirt on my MG 00 Q and apparently Bandai has stopped its replacement service

EDIT: Apart from gentei, because they have a long waiting list?

Yup I know it's pre mixed, but I guess a lot of the solvent vaporized off. I realised that it is not flowing smoothly through the panel lines.thus thinking of diluting it a little

your best bet would be to look on taobao. i also have some parts ordered under gentei, and the thing is that i ordered in 2014 and now still havent get them yet...

U need enamel thinner. Can get from stargek. X20 Blue cap one glass bottle, must have enamel paint thinner word. For black accent panel line it is actually a diluted xf1 flat black enamel paint. Buy xf1 enamel paint to top up together with x20a thinner to fill up when empty

Sorry if this has been repeated but any way to reduce shipping cost from hlj for big sized kits? Big as in Dendrobium and Mega size.

Hi folks, need some help on scribbling new panel lines. I followed YouTube video tutorial and pasted dymo tape on the parts to act as a guide to run the scriber through. However I noticed that after I removed the dymo tape, the line will be contaminated with the colour of the tape, which in this case it's red. Tried cleaning with lighter fluid but doesn't help. Tape newly bought from popular bookstore today.

If you are painting/spraying, the primer will hide it.

maybe it is the quality of the tape.
but it shldnt be an issue. u can use ur scriber to scratch out the colour. or just leave it coz ur panel line colour will cover it anyway

My friend has it, he brought it down in our group build sessions for a demonstration.

My heavily worked airbrush looked almost new after the cleaning.

Hi, any recommended easy-to-find 400ml canned spray acrylic primer for use with model kits? Tamiya`s getting pretty expensive now that i am painting more kits.

Why not invest in airbrush kit instead? Can get a simple set less than $150 at taobao.
