Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints utilize water-soluble acrylic resins, making them highly efficient for both brush painting and airbrushing. These paints can be applied to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, along with various common model plastics. The coverage is excellent, offering smooth flow and easy blending. While the paint is still wet, it can be washed off with plain water.
For airbrushing, it is advisable to use any of these Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Airbrushing:
- The paint can be thinned for airbrushing with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will produce quicker drying results and a more durable finish.
- Finishing:
- Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can be utilized as a flattening agent mixed with any X-gloss color at a ratio of 1:1.
- Thinner:
- Use Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner for standard thinning, or Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for a harder finish.
- Flattering:
- For improved results when brushing, incorporate Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) to achieve a smoother, stroke-free finish.
