Scale Models Tips - How To Use Tamiya Acrylic Paints - Brush & Airbrush Technique - Easy !!

Here I show you how I use Tamiya's Acrylic paint line up. These are the X & XF jar paints. They are a solvent based acrylic. These are among the easiest paints out there to airbrush, just about fool proof. So being easy to find, inexpensive and easy to spray make these a must have on every bench.

The best tutorial on using Tamiya paints I have seen.

[bennyterry]

I haven't built models in almost 28 years. Since I was a kid. Your videos are very helpful and not only have I watched all of them but have studied them. You have a lot of knowledge about paint and products and I appreciate you sharing it with us.

As someone can only brush paint, this is very helpful, please do more paint reviews including brush painting!

[konomiru]

I only just found your videos and i just want to say thank you so much. You put alot of effort in to explain all the items and reasons why they are used as well as your own tips, its so helpful to actually learn this stuff, unlike other channels that just say 'use this'. Brillant work, thanks for helping us all :)

Clothes peg to hold the brush. That's amazing. You sir, are a genius.

all that Fancy Stuff to get Professional results . I am amazed how complicated model painting has come . Tamiya has a great line of products I will say, But is it ALL really Needed ? Not in my opinion . But great informative video . Sorry, I am Old school !! lol But Never had any issues Painting ANY type of Surface or Materials . Cheers !

I cant believe how good the acrylic goes on without primer via airbrush... pristine

The “fill the bottle to the top” with Isoprop lew my mind, how easy and ready to use, thank you very much!

Dude, THANK YOU. I dont have the space to set up an airbrush and do all of my painting by brush. This is a game changer.

[neilpenny]

I really love your tutorials. I am just getting back into the hobby after a 40 year layoff. The airbrushing technique as well as paint dilution has been very helpful. Thank you.

[SMooreArtDesign]

Wow the coverage and self leveling is so good with the brush, no streaks, bright colors. I can really see why the gunpla guys love them. Airbrushing with lacquer thinner is super toxic though, alcohol not so much. I'm impressed!

I've had a full airbrush setup for months and haven't practiced using it yet. I also have a ton of Tamiya paints so this is the video I've needed for quite a while now. Thank you so much!

[andrewnicholson]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I just started building models with a KV-1 Russian tank and painting looked really intimidating with all the stuff you gotta do and things you need. This really helped me a whole lot! Thank you!!

[gabriellopez]

I love how through and detailed your videos are! Good stuff.

[JoseDiaz-ndic]

Watching this video after being posted for a year, but I'm so happy I did, getting back to this hobby with a video like this one, surely makes it exciting. thank you so much!!!
