Professional Flat Base for Models

The Tamiya 81021 Acrylic X-21 Flat Base is intended for modellers seeking a controlled matte finish. This 23ml flat base is water-soluble and works on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most model plastics.

Preferred Painting Methods

Mix X-21 into other Tamiya acrylic paints for a uniform matt effect whether you are brushing or airbrushing. For airbrush use, thin with recommended Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to achieve consistent spray characteristics.

Compatibility Across Materials

Suitable for a wide range of hobby projects including scale models and miniatures, this flat base reduces gloss without compromising handling. Its water-acrylic base also simplifies cleanup.

Which thinners work best with X-21

Use the Tamiya thinners recommended on the label for airbrushing, such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077, to retain paint flow and finish quality.

How should I store unused X-21

Keep the 23ml bottle sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the flatting properties over time.

Any tips for using with decals

Apply X-21 after decals are set and sealed if you want a uniform matte surface; test on a scrap to ensure decal edges remain secure before full application.
