Tamiya X13 Metallic Blue (81513) Acrylic paint 10ml – Acrylic paint for modelers

Tamiya X13 Metallic Blue (81513) is a high-quality modeling acrylic paint with an impressive metallic finish in a shade of blue. This product has been specially designed for demanding modelers who expect realistic effects when painting plastic, resin, or 3D-printed models. Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art pigments, the paint perfectly reproduces an intense, slightly shiny color, characteristic for example of modern civil vehicles, military aircraft, or details in science-fiction models.

• Volume: 10ml – sufficient for painting many medium and small model parts, allowing for precise and economical work.
• Material: Solvent-based acrylic paint – characterized by excellent adhesion to plastic and resin surfaces, a short drying time, and resistance to light abrasion.
• Dedicated application: Tamiya X13 Metallic Blue (81513) is ideal for painting models in 1/24, 1/35, 1/48, and other scales. Used for finishing car details, motorcycles, airplanes, ships, as well as elements of sci-fi and fantasy models.
• Application technique: The paint works best with an airbrush, but it can also be applied with a brush. For optimal results, we recommend Tamiya X-20A Thinner (81040) as well as a few drops of Tamiya Retarder (87114), which slows drying and minimizes brush marks and the "orange peel" effect.
• Versatility: The product is suitable for both military modeling (vehicles from World War II, the Cold War, and modern times) and civil modeling (cars, motorcycles, ships), as well as for dioramas and collectible models.
• Category: Modeling acrylic paint, dedicated to precision tasks.
• Difficulty level: 2/5 – Tamiya acrylic paint is easy to use, poses no problem for beginners, but also offers advanced finishing possibilities for demanding modelers.

We recommend Tamiya X13 Metallic Blue (81513) both to beginners and more advanced enthusiasts who want to achieve a high-quality metallic gloss effect on their models. This product guarantees excellent coverage and color durability while being very efficient. Suitable for anyone who values quality, reliability, and a unique finish.
