Tamiya XF-56

[dokushoka]

I'm having a hard time finding Tamiya XF-56 which is a metallic grey (I believe its flat). According to my local hobby shops, Tamiya is currently without a US distributor which is the reason for the shortage. Most of the major online shops seem to be out of it as well!

Does anyone know what a good equivalent would be? Is there a good gunze one or something?

Thanks!

Where do you live? I live about 3 minutes from my LHS and they have it always. You need, I get.

Thanks for the very generous offer but I'd feel bad putting you out.

Tamiya distributes themselves in the USA through Tamiya USA. Find yourself another hobby shop to shop at.

As for equivalent, if you're absolutely desperate, look at Testors Steel.

I used magneseum Alclad and liked the results.

Not boasting in anyway what so ever, but I have helped many people here find things they cannot get. It is not putting me out.
