Tamiya 87120 Diorama Texture Paint - Powder Snow Finish  [87120]

Natural Powder Snow Texture with Tamiya 87120

For hobbyists wanting to add a winter layer to their scenes, Tamiya 87120 Diorama Texture Paint in Powder Snow Effect is a reliable option. This water-based paste reproduces the look of fine powder snow on model kits and scale layouts, and the 100ml bottle covers about a B4-sized area in one coat.

Applying and Cleaning the Paint

Tamiya 87120 has a paste-like body with marble particles, so use a spatula or an old paintbrush to spread it without ruining your new brushes. Drying time is roughly 3-4 hours in warmer conditions and 4-5 hours in cooler conditions, giving you time to shape or smooth the texture. Because it is water-based, any excess can be wiped away with water before it hardens, and there is no strong solvent smell during use.

Mixing Options and Compatibility

You can blend this texture paint with other Tamiya acrylics to tweak the shade for snow that looks dusted or compacted. Avoid using Tamiya 87120 with airbrushes, since its texture can block nozzles and harm equipment. This paint is well suited for enhancing diorama winter scenes without complex techniques.
