Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are derived from water-soluble acrylic resins, making them suitable for brush painting or airbrushing applications. This versatile paint can be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and all common model plastics. It provides excellent coverage, smooth flowing, and easy blending. Before curing, the paint can be easily washed away with plain water.
When utilizing airbrushing techniques, it is imperative to pair the paint with appropriate Tamiya thinners:
- Thinner: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya paint labeling entails significant meanings and provides essential tips:
- Colors: X appointed colors feature a glossy finish, while XF designated colors deliver a flat finish.
- Airbrushing: The paint can be thinned using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Flattering: Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) serve as flattening agents for Tamiya Gloss bottle paints. Combine any X-gloss color with flat base at a mixing ratio of 1:1.
- Thinner: Tamiya Lacquer Thinner may also be utilized for thinning, promoting quicker drying and achieving a harder finish.
- Finishing: For enhanced brushing outcomes, Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) can be added for a smooth, brushstroke-free finish.
