Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints, composed of water-soluble acrylic resins, are ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. This particular color, Acrylic Mini X-1 Black, is versatile and can be applied to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and a variety of standard model plastics. The paint offers excellent coverage, smooth flow, and easy blending. Any uncurved paint can be cleaned with plain water.
When using an airbrush, it is important to utilize Tamiya thinners such as:
- Thinner: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Airbrushing: The paint can be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Finishing: Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can be used as a flattening agent on Gloss paints. The mixing ratio is 1:1.
- Thinner: Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can provide quicker drying times and a harder finish.
- Flattering: For optimal paint brushing results, Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) creates a smoother, brushstroke-free finish.
