Tamiya Acrylic Paints are high quality paints made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush or spray painting. These paints can be used on styrol resins, styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly with no blushing or fading, and can be blended easily.

Tamiya paints are excellent for airbrushing as they are thinner than other acrylics and require only a little thinning to run through your airbrush. To make them airbrush ready you want to thin them down using their Tamiya thinner because these paints contain alcohol and diluting them with water doesn’t work very well. A good starting point for achieving the proper paint to thinner ratio is to get your mixture close to the consistency of milk. (About 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner).
