Models in Motion. the UK site

Do they charge by United Kingdom Pounds or Euros?? If they charge in United Kingdom Pounds, that would be a really big rip off. A can of Tamiya TS spray paint would cost me $7.01USD compared to $4.84USD if it was converted from Euros.

Also, about how many cans of Tamiya spray paints will be enough to cover a 1/10 scale body??

In pounds I think.. It's a UK company, and so charge by pounds. A TS can in the UK is around £3.50 - £4.00. Which is what they charge..

All the prices in the site are in pounds, and I have always been charged as such.

Damn...I can get a can for $4.99+taxUSD, which is $2.84GBP+ tax(??)

Anybody got an answer for the 2nd question??

I get it for $5 USD incl tax and P&P

Your second question is hard to generalise I think. It depends a lot on personal painting technique, whether you decant and then use airbrush, how many coats you put on etc etc.

Personally I am really uneconomical when spraying from the can and have used 2 cans on one 1/24 body even (blush, blush). Pman on the other hand can get a couple of bodies out of one can I think....

I would but 3 cans if I was sure that I would be able to buy another later if necessary other wise I'd go for 4 thinking that I'd use any leftover on another project. BTW I've been using auto paints of late which is much cheaper and works about the same for me

How do you decant the Tamiya spray paints?? There isn't a small hole where I stick a straw into it like a can of WD40.
