Really? I'll certainly look for it and give it a shot! My local hobby store has quite an assortment of tamiya sprays...Looks like their entire 'regular' line plus a host of aircraft/military colors. If I can't find it there, I'm sure I can find an online retailer selling it. Thanks for that hint! Now I can do a retro AA 722!
