Best Surfaces and Typical Uses

This Tamiya paint adapts well to different surfaces encountered in modelling projects. Its water-soluble formulation allows straightforward cleanup and easy blending between coats, helping produce consistent detailing on scale models, figures and small props.

Mixing, Flow and Reliability

Tamiya 81001 Acrylic X-1 Black is water-soluble and generally safe on Styrofoam when applied in thin coats. Always test on a scrap piece first to check adhesion and finish.
For airbrushing, thin the paint to the consistency you prefer; many modellers use a little water or an acrylic thinner and adjust until flow is smooth. Start with light thinning and test on paper.
Yes, the Tamiya acrylic range is blendable, so you can mix X-1 Black with other Tamiya acrylics to create custom shades. Mix small amounts and test on a spare surface before applying to a model.
