Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints consist of water-soluble acrylic resins, designed for both brush and airbrushing applications. These paints are effective on various surfaces, including styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and most standard model plastics. The coverage is excellent, with smooth flow and easy blending capabilities. Wash the paint away with plain water before it cures.
For airbrushing, utilize any of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Thinner: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Airbrushing:
- The paint may be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can provide quicker drying and a tougher finish.
- For smoother brushstroke-free results, apply Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114).
- Finishing:
- Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) help in achieving a flat finish on glossy Tamiya paints; mix at a ratio of 1:1.
