Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are produced using water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing techniques. These paints can effectively be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and common model plastics. The paint is designed to cover well, flow smoothly, and blend easily. Prior to curing, any excess paint can be removed with plain water.
When utilizing an airbrush, it is essential to combine the paint with any of the Tamiya thinners, specifically:
- Items-81020
- 81030
- 81040
- 81520
- 87077
Quick Tips:
- Airbrushing:
The paint can be thinned using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner for airbrushing. Moreover, using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will lead to faster drying times and a harder finish. - Finishing:
Tamiya X-21 Flat Base can be used as a flattening agent for Tamiya Gloss paints by mixing in a 1:1 ratio. - Thinner:
For the best airbrushing results, use Tamiya thinners mentioned above. - Flattering:
To achieve a smoother brushstroke finish, incorporate Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) while painting.
