Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are composed of water-soluble acrylic resins, making them suitable for brush painting or airbrushing. These paints can be effectively applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and typical model plastics. The paint delivers excellent coverage, flows smoothly, and allows for easy blending. Paint can be washed away with plain water before it cures.
When using airbrushing, it is essential to utilize any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Items: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- X appointed colors: glossy finish.
- XF designated colors: flat finish.
- The paint can be thinned for airbrushing with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Items: 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can serve as a flattening agent for Tamiya Gloss bottle paints. Mix ratio: 1:1.
- The paint may also be thinned with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for faster drying and a more durable finish.
- For improved paint brushing outcomes, use Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) for a smoother finish without brushstrokes.
