Tamiya 87210 Figure Accent Color Dark Red-Brown - Weathering Tool  [87210]

Detail work using Tamiya 87210 Figure Accent Color

Tamiya's Figure Accent Color in Dark Red-Brown is a pre-diluted enamel made to pick out fine detail on scale models and figures. The paint is supplied in a 40ml bottle with a brush fitted into the cap for controlled application. It excels at enhancing panel lines and subtle sculpted recesses to give models added dimension.

Application tips for accent work

The Dark Red-Brown tone is ideal for shading facial features, clothing folds and recessed panel lines, producing a natural contrast. Apply the paint with the cap brush into crevices and wipe away any surplus while tacky or after drying using enamel thinner for a neat result.

Safety and substrate advice

For best results, use this enamel over a cured lacquer or acrylic base coat to avoid damaging softer plastics. Refrain from applying it to moving joints or stress points since enamel can stiffen plastic. Always trial on an inconspicuous area first, especially on flat base colours where the accent can soak in more easily.
