Tamiya Oxide Red Primer - Model Prep

If you want a dependable base for scale models, the Tamiya 87160 Fine Surface Primer in Oxide Red gives a uniform undercoat for plastic and metal surfaces. The fine finish it creates helps highlight detail and prepares surfaces for clean paint application.

Colour and Weathering

The Oxide Red tone is excellent for army vehicles and other subjects where a subdued underlayer improves realism. It supports ageing techniques like chipping and layered washes for convincing results.

Practical Use

Supplied as a 180ml can, the primer covers multiple parts when applied in controlled, thin layers. Work in a ventilated space, let each coat dry briefly, and then continue with your chosen paint and detailing sequence.

A 180ml can will typically cover several small kits or provide multiple passes on a single larger model, depending on application technique.
Yes, once the primer has sufficiently cured you can apply masking tape and spray additional colours for panel lines and camo without lifting the base.
The warm Oxide Red base can deepen and warm top coat hues, giving greater visual depth; test on a scrap piece to confirm the final tone.
Use a respirator or mask, spray in a ventilated area or booth, and follow the usual can handling guidance to avoid inhalation and contact.
