Frequently Asked Question
We stock Tamiya acrylic and enamel paints, covering their core colour range used for armour, vehicles, aircraft, and figure modelling.
Tamiya acrylics have a slightly different formulation to other hobby brands — they are alcohol-based rather than purely water-based, giving them excellent adhesion and finish but requiring slightly different handling. They are best thinned with Tamiya acrylic thinner rather than plain water.
Tamiya enamel paints are primarily used for panel line washes, filter effects, and weathering over a sealed acrylic base. Their slow drying time allows easy manipulation and removal with enamel thinner.
Tamiya paints are designed primarily for scale modelling but work well on miniatures, particularly for vehicle weathering, panel lining, and metallic effects.
Tamiya acrylics are best thinned with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner. Tamiya enamels require enamel thinner. Both are available alongside the paint ranges.
