Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints utilize water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for both brush application and airbrush techniques. This paint can be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and various model plastics. It offers excellent coverage, smooth flow, and easy blending. The paint can be washed off with plain water before curing.
When using an airbrush, please ensure you use any of the specified Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
