Tamiya X-20A thinner ... help me finding it

Post by Arthur Pendragon »

For some reason, I cannot find a hobby shop which sell Tamiya acrilic thinner X-20A internationally.

http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tam/tam81040.htm

Everyone I´ve found, sells it only within the Continental USA.

Squadron, from which I bought this stuff for years and years, do not carry it anymore.

Does anybody knows of a hobby shop that sells this thinner OUTSIDE US ?

Thanks

Sprue Bros lists an X-20 Thinner (not X-20A)

The big issue is shipping. I'd try Rainbow 10, item #0011900081040.
