Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints consist of water-soluble acrylic resins, allowing for effective brush painting and airbrushing. This versatile paint can be applied to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and standard model plastics. It provides excellent coverage, flows smoothly, and is easy to blend. The paint can be washed away with water prior to curing.
When using an airbrush, it’s essential to utilize one of the following Tamiya thinners: Items 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
Quick tips for Tamiya bottle paints:
Airbrushing:
- The paint can be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
- Utilizing Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will provide quicker drying time and a tougher finish.
- Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can act as a flattening agent. Combine any X-gloss color with flat base in a 1:1 mixing ratio.
- For optimal paint brushing outcomes, consider Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114) for a smoother, stroke-free finish.
