Anyone out there have either a good, reliable and not too expensive source for Tamiya Extra Thin or a suggestion for a good alternative? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Martin. Unfortuanley they won't ship to the UK. And shipping from Hong Kong seems very expensive, i.e., total price over £20. Is it worth it?

That's a bummer! I'm surprised there isn't a Amazon in the UK? I wouldn't be spending 20.00GBP = $32.00 on a bottle of cement...I can buy a Tamiya 1/48 Scale P-51D Mustang or another Tamiya "Mossie" for that price!
With the Amazon account that I have, I get free shipping and guaranteed delivery within 3 days. Maybe I should be a middleman for shipping stuff to you guys in the UK?!
Good luck, mate....hope you get some soon.
Cheers,
Martin

It's not allowed to be sold in the UK due to the ingredients Martin

Wonder what's in it that's so bad compared to others? I haven't tried TET but I do like the taste of Mr cement S, lol!

TET is the fo-shizzle chief - Much better than Mr S IMO as it dries a little slower

I see, I did think mr S evaporated a bit too quick. I'll have to get some TET and join the big boys!

From what i remember its due to the warning labels on the bottles that got tamiya in trouble with it and that was it, no longer available in the uk. Im just glad I've got 6 bottles of it in my drawer
