Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are composed of water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. These paints can be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and typical model plastics. The paint boasts excellent coverage, smooth flow, and easy blending. If needed, paint can be removed with plain water before it cures.
When using an airbrush, it is crucial to utilize any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Airbrushing: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Label Colors: X colors have a glossy finish whereas XF colors are matte.
- Thinning: For airbrushing, Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner can be used to thin the paint.
- Flattening: Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) serve as a flattening agent for Tamiya Gloss bottle paints. Mix at a ratio of 1:1.
- Drying: Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can expedite drying and yield a tougher finish.
- Brushing: For a smoother brushstroke-free finish, employ Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114).
