New rubbing compound?

[DiGiTaLEcLiPsE]

Hey guys, I haven't yet polished a model yet and I have never attempted to achieve the p-man shine. I am wondering is the rubbing compound in this picture discontinued?


I was on HLJ and they said it was discontinued and it says they have a 3 new ones being released on January.
Tamiya Compound Medium
Tamiya Compound Fine
Tamiya Compound Ultra-Fine

Eh? I was going to order some rubbing compound but.. it's discontinued.. Help?

ya its been discontinued for a couple months now. i just ordered some gunze sango compound instead.

[DiGiTaLEcLiPsE]

I didn't know that.. hehe..
What's different about this new compound though?

[Kasso]

probably a trick to sell more.

Yeah, any other compound as good as tamiyas?

And if anyone knows any info on the Medium, Fine and ultra-fine compound please tell us!

Gunze usually has top quality stuff, i'd say it's likely good
