Compact Model Acrylic in Purple Shade

Tamiya 81516 Mini Acrylic X-16 Purple is supplied in a 10ml bottle and features a water-soluble acrylic resin that suits model builders and figure painters. It adapts to both brushing and airbrushing workflows for precise finishing.

Compatibility with Model Materials

Use this paint on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most hobby plastics; it provides clean coverage, steady flow and straightforward blending for layered techniques.

Using Tamiya Thinners for Smooth Spraying

When airbrushing, thin with Tamiya options 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to reach the desired spray consistency and avoid uneven atomisation.

Will this paint adhere to gloss plastics?

Glossy parts should be lightly abraded or primed first to create a key for the paint and improve long term adhesion.

Are there safety steps when spraying this paint?

Always spray in a well ventilated space and consider a suitable respirator to avoid inhaling fine aerosols from airbrushing.

Is primer required for wood surfaces?

On raw wood a primer or sealer is recommended to even out porosity and ensure a uniform final colour and finish.

How can I achieve smooth colour transitions?

Work with thin layers, keep adjacent areas slightly wet and blend using light, sweeping passes to build gradual transitions without harsh edges.
