Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated with water-soluble acrylic resins, offering excellent performance for both brush painting and airbrushing. This paint can effectively be used on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and other common modeling plastics. It provides good coverage, smooth flow, and blends easily. Prior to drying, any paint can be removed using plain water.
For airbrushing, it is important to utilize any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner for reducing viscosity,
- Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for quicker drying times and a hardened finish.
Tamiya's bottle label meanings and important tips include:
- Airbrushing: Use Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner or Tamiya Lacquer Thinner.
- Finishing: To achieve a flat finish, use Tamiya X-21 Flat Base in a ratio of 1:1 with gloss colors.
- Thinner: The paint can be thinned effectively using Tamiya's recommended thinners, ensuring proper application.
- Flattening: Adding Tamiya X-21 Flat Base to acrylic paints yields a matte finish.
