Tamiya 87109 Dark Earth Texture Paint for Dioramas  [87109]

Build Convincing Earth Surfaces with Tamiya 87109

The Tamiya Diorama Texture Paint in Dark Earth (87109) gives modellers a water-based, paste-style medium to reproduce realistic soil and ground scatter in scale scenes. Its thick body is easy to shape and ideal for adding uneven, natural-looking terrain.

Primary Features and Application Notes

This 40ml pot contains a heavy paste formula with fine resin particles that improve coverage and add grain to dirt finishes. The product spreads well when applied thickly and can be modelled before it sets, making it practical for a range of diorama work.

• Drying Time: Approximately 3-4 hours in summer, 4-5 hours in winter.
• Coverage: Sufficient for a B4-sized area with one coat.
• Mixability: Can be mixed with other Tamiya acrylic paints for custom colours.
• Cleaning: Easily cleaned with water before setting, thanks to its water-based nature.
• Tools: Apply using a spatula or an old paintbrush to avoid damaging new brush bristles.

For added depth, apply enamel washes or use dry brushing once the texture paint is dry. Avoid using this paste in an airbrush due to its thick consistency.
