TS-49 (bright red)

HI, peeps...

Well, I bought a kit today that requires this paint (guess which kit ;)). Problem: can't find it anywhere. Even HLJ doesn't carry it!!! What to do??? :mad:

OK, not that I will be building this kit in the near future... But I still need a couple of cans. Maybe our friends in Finland can help me out on this one? If not... I have no idea what to do, and the car wouldn't just look right with any other red.

Can't help, Tamiya spray paints aren't available in Finland :zx11pisse

I suspect it's a Ferrari! :D

I was at a hobby store yesterday and recall seeing Tamiya "Italian Red." I can't recall the number, but you should keep an eye out for it.

:devil:

Tamiya "Italian Red."

What you see in a spray cap is not exactly what you get on model!!!

Tamiya's "Italian Red" is TS-8. I used that on the Ferrari I built.

Yes, it's a Ferrari, F1-2000, actually! :D Got it for 362EEK:p (that's like just around $20). Love the kit.

The paint is not Italian red, it's "Bright red" - probably because it's a Fomula 1 car. As a last resort I could try mixing Tamiya red and orange 5:2, but I would really love to use a spaycan... :(

And it's a shame about Finland.

I could get some here but i dont think you can send it by mail to you.

Could you find this out for sure? Thanks!

Ales, my ITR in the gallery is painted with Tamiya Bright Red if you want to see what it looks like on a car. :silly2:

try this mix i mixed it when i ran out of bright red on my evo V1 wrc and its a very close match, 5x7+1x8+2x6, also you could try here for ferrari colour mixes http://www.modelersite.com.ar/Ago2000/RacingColoursMatchesTamiya.htm hope this helps.:)

Thanks, as the last resort I will try this. Although I really would like to get a spraycan...

You can order from hobbylinc.com they ship international too. I get stuff from them I can't find in my local shop.

Tamiya, in Ferrari F310 instructions says that TS49 is the same as X7:5-X6:1
Hope it helps

Even in Italy is unavaiable since november.... i hope it will arrive, i have at least 15models that require that paint

If you did send it you would have to send to via surface mail (shipping) as aircraft in general do not like pressureised containers in them.:(
