All-Purpose Mini Acrylic for Modelling

Tamiya 81516 Mini Acrylic X-16 Purple is a 10ml water-mixable acrylic aimed at modellers and figure painters who want reliable brush and airbrush performance. Its acrylic resin base gives controlled flow for detailed work.

Suitable Materials and Detailing

Apply this paint to styrol resins, Styrofoam, timber and most plastics found in kit building. It gives even coverage and blends well for subtle shading on models and miniatures.

Airbrushing Tips with Official Thinners

When spraying, blend with Tamiya thinners like 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to dial in viscosity and get a consistent spray pattern.

Will this stick to resin garage kits?

Yes, it adheres to common resin types after the surface is cleaned and primed. Always test on a scrap to confirm finish and adhesion.

Can I mix colours to create custom tones?

Mixing small amounts on a palette is fine to develop custom shades, but keep track of ratios if you need to reproduce the same colour later.

What dilution works for airbrushing?

Begin with a light amount of Tamiya thinner and increase gradually until the paint flows smoothly through your airbrush without spattering.

How should opened bottles be stored?

Keep bottles tightly capped, store upright in a cool dry spot out of direct sunlight and shake gently before use to recombine any settled pigment.
