Ok, calm down Jerry, you seems to upset.

Ok, I will explain in spanish to avoind missundertsanding if you want, but maybe few people will undertand it.
SO, one more try:

"A a japanese person told me, Gunze colors and Tamiya colors is made in the same factory. This not means that is exactly the same color, but is based in the same formule (more or less)

Tamiya sell XF series as acrylic, when is not a real acrylic based in vinilic or resin aglutinants. EVen if XF colors can be diluited with water or alcohol, it is close to a laquer than an acrylic.
This is why Tamiya sell like Acrilic, because in fact can be diluyed with water!!!! But try to compare with Vallejo Acrylic and you will understand what you say.

If XF colors are promoted as "acrylic, it can be used by childrens without any problem. But if the same product is promoted as LAQUER, then is necvesary laquer thiner, which is dangerous for the health, more than the water or alcohol.
Tamiya is NOT lie to any one, just that thes special colors can be used in two different ways. that's all.

Now...calm down again, relax, and don't be upset with anyone talking about Wikipedia, European inspectors, liers, Neil Anstrong and this kind of things. I just give an advice to use in a better way the Tamiya colors, that's all. Try by your self what I say and then, if you don't agree with me, you can explain here your point of view.

Thank you so much

Mig Jimenez
