Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints consist of water-soluble acrylic resins, which makes them perfect for both brush painting and airbrushing. These paints can be applied to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and all standard model plastics. The paint offers great coverage, smooth flow, and easy blending. It can be washed away with plain water before curing.
When utilizing an airbrush, it is essential to use any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Items-81020

- 81040
- 81520
