Flat Base for Precise Finishes

The Tamiya 81021 Acrylic X-21 Flat Base gives hobbyists a reliable way to lower sheen on painted surfaces. In a 23ml bottle, this water-acrylic flat base is suitable for styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most model plastics.

Applying X-21 by Brush or Airbrush

Tamiya X-21 mixes smoothly with other Tamiya acrylic paints for brush or spray work. For airbrushing, thin with recommended Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to maintain good flow and atomisation.

Best Uses and Tips

Ideal for scale kits, figures and scenic elements, this flat base helps achieve subtle matt effects while keeping colours stable. Clean up with water due to its water-soluble formulation.

Will X-21 affect paint colour

It should not significantly shift colour when mixed moderately, but heavy addition can slightly mute brightness. Test mixes first.

How do I clean brushes after using X-21

Because X-21 is water-soluble, clean brushes with warm water and mild soap. For airbrushes, flush thoroughly with water and standard airbrush cleaner if needed.

Can I store mixed paint with X-21

Mixed paints should be used within a short period. Store unmixed X-21 in a cool, sealed bottle to preserve its properties.

Is it safe on delicate plastics

It is generally safe on common model plastics, but delicate or soft plastics should be spot-tested to ensure no adverse reaction.
