Tamiya 87225 Chipping Liquid 40ml Scale Weathering Liquid  [87225]

Create Realistic Chips with Tamiya 87225

Tamiya's 87225 Chipping Liquid suits modellers who want authentic paint wear on scale builds. Use it on tanks, aircraft, and sci-fi kits to simulate natural abrasion and paint loss.

Practical Usage Steps

Use the following sequence to get consistent chipping results on your projects:

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.
