From tamiya catalogue:
TAMIYA COLOR SPRAY PAINTS (TS)
These cans of spray paint are extremely useful for painting large surfaces. The paint is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is enough to fully cover 2 or 3, 1/24 scale sized car bodies. Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints. Therefore, following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or picked out using enamel and/or acrylic paints. By combining of three different paints, the decoration of plastic models will become simpler and more effective.
*Not available in some countries.

TAMIYA COLOR SPRAY FOR AIRCRAFT (AS)
These spray paints are specially developed for finishing aircraft models. Each color is formulated to provide the authentic tone to 1/32 and 1/48 scale model aircraft. Now, the subtle shades can be easily obtained on your models by simple spraying. Each can contains 100ml of synthetic lacquer paint.
*Not available in some countries.

AS will usually be flat to reflect real life aircraft finishes, so you'd need to clearcoat to get a gloss look.

I think they're both synthetic lacquers, and Tamiya probably designed AS to work with TS as well
