  1. 1/72 P-38 maybe a safe bet since they have downscaled nearly all of their other new 1/48 kits to 72 recently. Would be pleasantly surprised if a new 1/32 WWII subject reared its head though.
  2. All I want is a 1/72 P-38.
  3. Appears to be new tool. Some test shots are running in the October issues of Japanese hobby magazines. Here's a quick pic for you blokes.

    RLM 71

    GSI Creos (Gunze) has RLM 71 in both their acrylic and lacquer line if you can find them. Acrylic one is H-64 and the lacquer is Mr. Color 17.
  5. Well you're in luck of sorts. I happen to have a bottle of 367. It comes from a U.S. Navy Color specialty paint set which is now out of production. The box lists 367 as FS35189. According to the ultimate paint chart the color is the same as RAF PRU Blue and Humbrol, Model Master and XtraColor have it in their lineup as well. Additional box shot: Hope this helps!
  6. I picked up 4 bottles of the new stuff today. I was really surprised to see it at the local hobby shop here in Japan. Pretty expensive over here. 500yen a bottle! That's about £4 a bottle. I don't know how big the market is here for war-gaming stuff but I don't see many Japanese buying these when you can buy 4 almost 5 bottles of Tamiya/Gunze Mr. Color (110yen a bottle usually if you buy at big electronics stores) for the price of one Citadel. But the new Dry paint was too interesting not to pick up. Also got a few washes to try out. I actually would love to get more for brush work. I've gotten much better at brushing Tamiya/Mr. Hobby Color acrylics but in order to get them to brush ok I've found you have to work with really thin layers and build up the color which takes time. Tamiya Enamels are the best brush paint over here (IMO) but you have to deal with the smell. Same with the Mr. Color and Gaia Notes lacquers. These Citadel colors have a great smell. It reminds me of something from when I was a kid and I want to say play-dough or clay but I'm not sure what. Tamiya acrylics still have the best smell though. Almost like candy those Tamiya paints.
