New supplies today.

Got some new supplies today for my Peugeot 206 WRC that im going to order the soon from buy-model. I tried that compound out and it was amazing, puts my other stuff to shame. I had to guess what color grey to pick because I was only looking at pictures. I got TS-17 gloss aluminum but I forgot the Tamiya clear:banghead: Also got some of the famed microsol and some testors gloss black. How much is the tamiya compound and tamiya bottles at your hobby shops? I paid $2 for the bottles and $2.40 for the compound.:smile:

Cool score! Supplies are sometimes better than getting a kit!:smile:

Yeah, tell me about it. My shop just got a whole bunch of new kits and a bunch of Fujmi kits which they never usually have. I was so tempted to get a new kit, but I resisted becuase I wanted money for that Peugeot.:smile:

Good to hear some postive feedback about the compound.

That compound is probably the best, and most affordable for model cars. Don't use too much though, since a little bit on a clean cotton cloth goes a long way.

Sadly I can't get the stuff :( Even when I drive 100 miles to the big city I can't find it.

Nice :bigthumb:

Sounds like people think highly of the Tamiya compound. I use a product my local shop reccomended to me, saying it was better than the Tamiya product, It's a plastic polish (made by bare metal foil), but it has directions for using it on model cars on the bottle. It's a liquid too, but I haven't had great success with it yet. I might buy some of the Tamiya stuff to compare.
