Tamiya 87110 Texture Paint Light Sand - Diorama Grit Finish  [87110]

Surface Texture Paint for Sand and Desert Scenes

Tamiya's 87110 Texture Paint in Light Sand gives model builders a simple way to add convincing sandy texture to dioramas. This 40ml water-based product recreates the gritty look of desert terrain, including areas similar to Iraq and Afghanistan, while remaining easy to handle for scale modelling work.

Main Benefits of Tamiya Texture Paint

• Water-Based Formula: Has a paste-like body with ceramic particles that dry to a rough, granular finish.
• Coverage: One 40ml bottle covers about a B4 sheet area with two coats applied.
• Drying Time: Typical cure is about 3-4 hours in warm conditions and 4-5 hours in cooler conditions.
• Mixability: Compatible with other Tamiya acrylics for subtle colour tweaks.
• Clean-Up: Excess or wet paint is removed easily with water before it hardens.

Practical Application Advice

Apply the texture paint with a spatula or an old brush to avoid wrecking new bristles. Do not use this product with an airbrush as the ceramic particles will clog nozzles. After drying, pick out highlights with enamel washes or dry brushing for realistic depth.
