Actually, Tamiya extra thin has a green label and regular has an orange one.

The Tamiya cement white label is part #87003 , the yellow label is #87012 , then there's extra thin and limonene extra thin cement , the one that smells like lemons .

Tamiya extra thin is now available in the UK and it has become my favourite plastic cement.

I agree. I bought both extra thin and normal tamiya cement but actually only use extra thin. Never looked back to the Revell or Faller needle kind... the beauty is you just hold two parts together and tip the seam with the brush and it flows right in, giving a nice firm joint.
