Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints utilize water-soluble acrylic resins, making them suitable for both brush and airbrush applications. They adhere well to styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and common model plastics. The paint offers smooth flow, good coverage, and easy blendability. It can be easily washed off with plain water prior to drying.
For airbrushing, it is crucial to use Tamiya thinners, specifically Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, and 87077.
Tamiya Paint Label Guidelines and Quick Tips:
- Airbrushing: It can be thinned with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner for optimal results.
- Finishing: To flatten Tamiya Gloss paints, mix any gloss color with Tamiya X-21 Flat Base (Items 81521 and 81021) in a 1:1 ratio.
- Thinner: Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can be used for airbrushing to achieve quicker drying and a tougher finish.
- Flattering: For smoother brush strokes, use Tamiya Paint Retarder (item 87114).
