Primer Overview for RC Builds

Model makers seeking a solid undercoat will find the Tamiya 87160 Fine Surface Primer in Oxide Red useful for both plastic and metal components. The primer fills fine imperfections and provides a consistent finish for subsequent painting stages.

Ideal Models and Effects

Oxide Red is particularly apt for scale military models where a warm, rusty base tone improves realism. It pairs well with weathering methods like washes and chipping to achieve authentic ageing effects.

Application Notes

The product is supplied in a 180ml aerosol and covers multiple small kits. Apply in short bursts from the recommended distance, ensure good ventilation, and allow the primer to dry fully before masking or applying detailed paint layers.
