Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints utilize water-soluble acrylic resins and are suitable for brush painting or airbrushing. They can be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and standard model plastics. The paint ensures excellent coverage, smooth flow, and is easy to blend. It is possible to wash away the paint with plain water prior to curing.
When using an airbrush, it is important to utilize Tamiya thinners, specifically:
- Airbrushing: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Finishing: Colors marked with X have a glossy finish, while those marked XF exhibit a flat finish.
- Thinner: The paint is thin for airbrushing with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Flattering: Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can serve as a flattening agent for Tamiya Gloss paints. Simply mix an X-gloss color with flat base at a ratio of 1:1.
- Additionally, the paint can be thinned with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for quicker drying and harder finishes.
- For improved brushing, Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) is recommended to achieve a smoother finish.
