Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints consist of water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. They can be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and commonly used modeling plastics. The paint provides excellent coverage, smooth flow, and easy blending. If washed promptly before drying, the paint can be removed with water.
While airbrushing, it is essential to utilize suitable Tamiya thinners from the following items: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips:
- Airbrushing: The paint can be thinned with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner or Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for quicker drying and a harder finish.
- Finishing: For gloss finishes, X designated colors are used while XF colors provide a flat finish.
- Thinner: Thinning ratio for Tamiya X-21 Flat Base with X-gloss colors is 1:1 for a flatter finish.
- Flattering: For enhanced coverage, Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) can be added to improve brush stroke quality.
