Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated from water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for brush or airbrush application. They can be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and various model plastics. The color covers effectively, flows effortlessly, and allows for easy blending. Before curing, the paint can be easily removed with plain water.
When using an airbrush, it is crucial to apply any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Tamiya Thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Airbrushing:
- The paint can be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- The paint can also be thinned with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for quicker drying and a harder finish.
- Finishing:
- Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can serve as a flattening agent for Tamiya Gloss bottle paints. Combine any X-gloss color with the flat base. Mixing ratio: 1:1.
- Thinner:
- For superior paint brushing results, include Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) to ensure a smoother, stroke-free finish.
