All-Purpose Acrylic for Scale Models

Tamiya's 81003 Acrylic X-3 Royal Blue in a 23ml bottle is a versatile choice for hobbyists working on small-scale builds. This water-soluble acrylic resin works well for both brush painting and air-brushing, producing a smooth finish and reliable coverage on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and common model plastics.

Uses and Material Fit

The Tamiya X-3 Royal Blue flows evenly and blends cleanly, helping with precise detail work and layered painting. While popular for many model kits and figures, it is suited for a wide variety of modelling projects beyond just RC car bodies.

Can I use this paint on polycarbonate RC shells?

This acrylic is formulated for model plastics and styrol resins and is not intended as a dedicated polycarbonate livery paint. For polycarbonate shells, use paints specifically made for polycarbonate or apply a suitable primer as recommended by the shell manufacturer.

How do I clean brushes after use?

Because the paint is water-soluble, brushes and tools can be rinsed with water. Use warm water and a mild brush cleaner or soap for best results, and reshape bristles before drying.

Is it suitable for airbrushing straight from the bottle?

You can thin the paint with small amounts of clean water for airbrushing and test spray on cardboard first. Adjust thinning gradually to match your airbrush and pressure.
