Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are composed of water-soluble acrylic resins, making them perfect for brush painting or airbrushing. They can be applied to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and widely used model plastics. The paint provides excellent coverage, smooth flow, and ease of blending. Before curing, it can be removed with plain water.
For airbrushing, utilize the following Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
