Re: Tamiya Spray Paints in UK
The problem is that the current formulation for Tamiya paints had something in them that was nasty (technical term!) and with the new EU directives regarding paint and formulations, the formula has to be revised. This has led to the UK distributor recalling all the paint and having to ship it all back to Japan. The labelling on the product also has to be changed.
I agree its not the greatest situation in the world but it seems with the nanny and litigation culture we need a directive/proceedure/standard for everything. I reckon it'll just get worse and could hit the hobby on other products too...
I can't wait, probably in 10 years time I'll have to be supervised to an EU standard to wipe my own ar$e...
Just my opinion....!!
