Compact Semi-Gloss Acrylic for Hobby Kits

Tamiya 81518 Mini Acrylic X-18 Semi-Gloss Black comes in a handy 10ml bottle of water-soluble acrylic resin paint suitable for both brushing and airbrushing. It covers styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most common modelling plastics with a smooth finish and reliable coverage.

Airbrush and Thinning Notes

When using an airbrush, thin with approved Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to help the paint flow evenly and reduce clogging for consistent coats.

Yes, the water-soluble acrylic bonds well to porous woods like balsa, though light sanding and a sealer can give the best uniform finish.
You can blend Tamiya acrylics for custom shades. Mix small test batches first to check compatibility and drying behaviour before large runs.
Dry times depend on thickness and ventilation; thin coats typically skin over in 10-20 minutes and can be recoated after around 30-60 minutes under normal conditions.
While the paint is water-soluble before drying, use recommended Tamiya thinners for thinning and follow solvent safety for cleanup once the paint has cured.
