• Capacity – 250 ml, sufficient for many painting sessions and larger modeling projects.
• Purpose – for thinning Tamiya Color lacquer paints and other compatible modeling lacquer paints.

• Application – excellent for painting large modeling surfaces such as aircraft fuselages, tank armor, or car bodies.
• Recommended mixing ratios – it is advised to use 1-2 parts of thinner per each part of paint for optimal working consistency.
• Material – a chemical product with a stable, high-quality formula, suitable for plastic models as well as details made from other materials (resin, metal, 3D).

This product is not a model kit, but a specialist chemical preparation from the category: thinners and modeling accessories. Its primary application is in plastic modeling and in precise model building of military vehicles (WWI and WWII, Cold War, and modern times), aircraft, figures, and car models in various scales (e.g. 1/24, 1/35, 1/72).

We especially recommend Tamiya 87194 Lacquer Thinner Retarder Type to experienced modelers who expect professional-quality finishes and are working on special effects or gradients. However, it is also extremely helpful for beginners, as it extends the working time with the paint, making it easier to correct imperfections during painting.
