Historical Context
Tamiya acrylic paints are formulated from water-soluble acrylic resins, ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. This specific paint can easily be applied on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, and various model plastics. It offers excellent coverage, smooth flow, and can be blended effortlessly. If needed, paint can be removed with plain water prior to curing.
