Tamiya AS-29

[WigWag Workshop]

Good Day Folks!

I am starting to collect supplies for my next project. My LHS does not have Tamiya AS-29 grey/blue in a spray can, so I am looking for suggestions on alternatives. I am going to be building my first Aircraft, the Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter. I really didn't want to pay the $4-$6 dollars shipping + the cost of the paint itself, for 1 small can of paint.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

-Steven

No doubt about it, but some time ago I recall buying compressed air cans to be used with airbrushes.... Maybe that could solve the prob...

Steve,don't know if this will help,but Tamiya XF76 is the equivalent colour to the AS29.....I've just checked on my 1/32 Tammy Zero... ;D

Perfect! Thanks for pointing the suggestion! I know my LHS has that in stock. This forum is truly the greatest!
