Quite a few products produced by companies abroad do not comply with the necessary safety rulings,for example Tamiya produced a rather abnoxious thinners some years back which was taken off the market in the UK.
It is annoying that when we buy a kit the appropiate materials cannot be obtained,the terms 'use only Tamiya products' with this model etc do not hold much water.
A lot of the blame must be directed at the importers,who should check to make sure that they order suitable back-up materials to build the model in question.
The modeller gets fobbed off all of the time and I dont think that it is good enough,we should not have to accept second best.
