Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated with water-soluble acrylic resins, making them ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. These paints are compatible with styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and a variety of common model plastics. Known for their excellent coverage and smooth flow, these pigments can be easily blended and cleaned up with plain water before curing.
When using an airbrush, it is essential to pair these paints with the appropriate Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
