Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated with water-soluble acrylic resins, ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. These paints can be applied to a variety of surfaces including styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and common model plastics. The paint boasts excellent coverage, smooth flow, and easy blending. Prior to curing, it can be easily washed away with plain water.
When using an airbrush, ensure to utilize any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Thinner: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Color Codes: X designated colors have a glossy finish, whereas XF designated colors are flat.
- Thinning: The paint can be thinned for airbrushing with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Flattening: Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can serve as a flattening agent. Simply combine any X-gloss color with flat base in a 1:1 ratio.
- Lacquer Thinner: For quicker drying and a harder finish, Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can also be used for thinning.
- Brush Finish: Using Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) will enhance brushstroke-free results.
