Bringing Tamiya enamils home...


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I have been in Japan for the past 2 months, and its time to come home. I have purchaced 20+ bottles of Tamiya 10ml ENAMEL model paint. (i.e. x-1 x-2 ect.) I would like to know if its ok to put these bottles of paint in my checked luggage. I like the quality of this paint as opposed to the testors paint I have been using.

Thanks for your help,

-Mike

Can you mail them to yourself? Not that it is any safer, but I've had paints removed from luggage. Last time I had a few Model Master bottles inside a model box and it went ok. One or 2 bottles may go un-noticed, but 20+ will definitely show up at inspection. It's a gamble, but you may get away with it. Maybe mail half and take half?

If you have any putty (especially Milliput white putty), make sure you DON'T take it as carry on. It may look like plastic explosives. Don't ask me how I know ;)

Thanks,
