Tamiya 87225 Chipping Liquid 40ml Model Weathering Solution  [87225]

Authentic Chipping Effects Using Tamiya 87225

Tamiya's 87225 Chipping Liquid is aimed at modellers who want believable paint loss and surface wear on kits. It suits armoured vehicles, aircraft, and futuristic models, helping replicate real-world weathering patterns.

Simple Stepwise Application

Follow these steps to produce a natural weathered finish on your builds:

1. Base Coat Application: Start by painting your model with a base color using Tamiya lacquer paints.
2. Apply Chipping Liquid: Use an airbrush or brush to apply a thin layer of the Chipping Liquid. Ensure the application is light for optimal results.
3. Hull Color Layer: Once the Chipping Liquid has dried, paint over it with your chosen hull color using Tamiya acrylic paints.
4. Activate Chipping Effect: Apply water to the painted areas to soften the Chipping Liquid.
5. Reveal Weathering: Gently peel off the hull color paint with tools like a toothpick to reveal the base color underneath.

Note: The hull color paint will not peel off once fully dried, so timing is crucial in this process.
