Realistic Paint Chipping with Tamiya 87225

Tamiya's 87225 Chipping Liquid is made for modelers seeking accurate chipped paint and surface wear on scale kits. It is effective on armour, aircraft, and sci-fi subjects to reproduce worn finishes with precision.

Recommended Application Steps

For best results, follow these steps to achieve a convincing weathered finish on your models:

1. Base Coat Application: Start by painting your model with a base color using Tamiya lacquer paints.
2. Apply Chipping Liquid: Use an airbrush or brush to apply a thin layer of the Chipping Liquid. Ensure the application is light for optimal results.
3. Hull Color Layer: Once the Chipping Liquid has dried, paint over it with your chosen hull color using Tamiya acrylic paints.
4. Activate Chipping Effect: Apply water to the painted areas to soften the Chipping Liquid.
5. Reveal Weathering: Gently peel off the hull color paint with tools like a toothpick to reveal the base color underneath.

Note: The hull color paint will not peel off once fully dried, so timing is crucial in this process.
