    Watch as he paints the gas tank.  He's using XF-56 Metallic Gray.  

    He moves quickly, which is important with Tamiya acrylics, in my experience. He paints the entire gas tank in 23 seconds. Any more time messing around with it will produce what you found - marring, pulling up, etc. 

    If I can't get the coverage I want in about this amount of time, I wait 30-60 minutes and recoat. Hope this helps. Model on!

    I was all the way to the picture where you're holding the engine before I realized I was looking at your model and not a real car. I also have always been a fan of the understated look on high performance vehicles, and this has really captured that look. The level of detail on this build is about as realistic as it gets. 

    Same! I was scrolling to see the model. Unreal. Stunning build.

    All well and good but if you can't get the product, what good is it? I have contacted a lot of suppliers, hobby jobbers and shops. No one has it and they don't know when more will come. I also found that the places that do have it won't ship to the US.

    Model Roundup shows it as coming soon - “Late August”. I’m hoping that’s an indication of when most US retailers will have it.
