Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints consist of water-soluble acrylic resins, making them suitable for both brush painting and airbrushing. These paints are compatible with styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and most common model plastics. The formula provides excellent coverage, smooth flow, and ease of blending. Before curing, the paint can be removed with plain water.
When using an airbrush, it is crucial to employ Tamiya thinners. Recommended products include:
- Airbrushing: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya paint bottle labels feature specific meanings and practical tips:
- Finishing: Colors designated with an X indicate a glossy finish, whereas XF colors denote a flat finish.
- Thinner: For airbrushing, Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner can be used.
- Flattering: Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) function as flattening agents for Tamiya Gloss colors when mixed at a 1:1 ratio.
- Additionally, Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can be used for thinning, leading to faster drying times and a tougher finish.
- For enhanced brushing outcomes, Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) is recommended to achieve a smoother, streak-free finish.
