1. Tamiya Verduenner

X-20A thinner 250ml acrylic TAMIYA X-20A acrylic thinner is the perfect choice for thinning TAMIYA acrylic paints. It is formulated to prevent TAMIYA acrylic paints from fading or staining after paint application and drying. Furthermore, the thinner is also ideally suited for cleaning airbrush spraying equipment (paint cups, needles and nozzles) and brushes (For natural hair brushes, use Brush Conditioner (300087181) after cleaning for maintenance). When using airbrush sprayers (depending on the nozzle used, 0.25 - 0.50mm), a mixing ratio of 1:2 - 1:3 (1 part paint : 2 or 3 parts thinner) is ideal. Contents: 250 ml TAMIYA X and XF acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for brush painting or for application with airbrush sprayers. These paints can be used on styrene resins, styrofoam, wood, as well as all common model plastics. For better adhesion, we recommend prior priming (TAMIYA Primer e.g. 300087044 Primer White) of the material in question. The paint covers well, flows smoothly and is easy to mix. Before curing, the paint can be washed away with normal water. - Colors marked "X" have a glossy finish, while those marked "XF" are matte. - For use with airbrush sprayers (0.25 - 0.50mm depending on the nozzle used), the X-/XF paints should be thinned with TAMIYA X-20A Acrylic Thinner (300081020, 300081030 or 300081040). - The X-/XF paints can also be thinned with TAMIYA Lacquer Thinner (300087077). This gives a faster drying result and a harder surface finish. - Adding TAMIYA Paint Retarder (300087114) will give you a smoother paint surface after drying (max. mixing ratio 1:10). Signal word Danger Hazard statements: - H226 Flammable liquid and vapor. 

2. Tamiya Polishing compound

This paste-like polish uses small particles which are required for fine polishing of smooth surfaces (after priming) before you apply the top coat/color coat of the model. It can also be used to polish out scratches from transparent plastic parts. Repeat this process until you have achieved the desired result. For application and polishing use the original TAMIYA Polishing Cloths 300087090. For further applications the following TAMIYA Polishing Compounds are available: 300087068 Polishing Compound Coarse/Groh (for heavy paint inclusions). 300087070 Polishing Compound Finish (fine particles / polish out the slightest inclusions / give the final coat of paint or clearcoat a special deep gloss). Before further application of paint, rinse the surface under running water and allow to dry. 

3. Tamiya Acrylic paint

Excellent quality paint for all varnishing work in model making, for farmhouse painting on wood or also very suitable for glass painting. The non-toxic acrylic paint does not contain any solvents, is lightfast, can be diluted with water and is suitable for spray guns. The colour tone results in a strong, glossy and waterproof surface.

5. Tamiya Diorama Texture Paint Dark Earth

Item no.: 300087109 Description: Texture paint earth/dark brown100ml Diorama The water-based TAMIYA texture paint earth effect is enriched with resin particles, so that dioramas get a realistic earth surface structure in no time. The consistency is similar to that of a paste, so even uneven areas or small holes can be filled. Thickly applied layers can be conveniently shaped and textured, as the virtually odorless texture paint hardens slowly. The dark brown color can be used to represent dark, European earth surfaces as well as peat-like areas. For other earth surfaces, the brown texture color is suitable. The content of a 100 ml bottle is approximately sufficient for painting a B4 format surface (approx. 250 × 353 mm, one coat). Properties: Drying time: depending on room temperature, approx. 3-5 hours Still wet paint can be easily thinned with water and washed off. Small spatulas or old brushes are suitable for application. Texturfarbe can be mixed with TAMIYA acrylic paints to obtain numerous individual color shades. Attention: Texturfarbe is not suitable for airbrush guns!...

Product Name: X-23 Clear Blue Gloss 10ml

Tamiya X-Acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for brush
painting or application with airbrush spray equipment. These paints can be used on polystyrene, ABS, styrene resins, expanded polystyrene, wood, and all common modeling plastics. For better adhesion, we recommend priming the respective material beforehand. The paint provides good coverage, flows smoothly, and is easy to mix. Before curing, the paint can be washed away with regular water. Colors marked with "X" have a glossy finish, while those labeled "XF" are matte.

For use with airbrush spray equipment (depending on the nozzle used, 0.25 – 0.50mm), the X colors should be thinned with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner.
