Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are crafted from water-soluble acrylic resins, making them suitable for both brush painting and airbrushing. This specific paint can be effectively applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and common model plastics. It offers exceptional coverage and smooth flow, allowing for easy blending. If necessary, paint can be removed with plain water before it cures.
For airbrushing, utilize the following Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, and 87077.
Tamiya paint labeling holds specific meanings and includes practical tips:
- Airbrushing: It is crucial to thin the paint for optimal airbrushing results using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Finishing: Tamiya X-21 Flat Base (Items 81521 and 81021) serves as a flattening agent when combined with any X-gloss color in a 1:1 mixing ratio.
- Thinner: For quicker drying times and a more durable finish, consider using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner.
- Flattering: For improved brush painting results, Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) is recommended to achieve a smoother finish.
