Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated using water-soluble acrylic resins, making them perfect for both brush painting and airbrushing techniques. They can be applied to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and a variety of standard model plastics. The paint provides excellent coverage, smooth flow, and allows for easy blending. Any paint remaining before curing can be washed away with water.
When airbrushing, it is essential to use one of the following Tamiya thinners:
- Airbrushing: Use Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner for optimal results.
- Thinner: Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can also be used for faster drying and a tougher finish.
Tamiya bottle paint label meanings and quick tips include:
- Finishing: Colors designated with X have a glossy finish while those marked XF provide a flat finish.
- Flattering: For Tamiya Gloss bottle paints, mix any X-gloss color with Tamiya X-21 Flat Base (items 81521 and 81021) in a 1:1 ratio for a matte effect.
- Airbrushing: Utilizing a paint retarder (item 87114) improves brushwork, ensuring a smoother, streak-free application.
