Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer, thanks to its unique formula, effectively masks micro-scratches, pores, and other minor imperfections that occur after mechanical processing of models. Thanks to its white pigment, it works perfectly under light colors, significantly simplifying further painting even with pastel shades that can be difficult to achieve over darker primers. It is ideal for popular scales such as 1/35, 1/24, or 1/72, as well as for figures and detailed parts.

We recommend applying in thin layers – it can be applied with a brush or, after thinning, with an airbrush. After drying, the primer is easy to sand with sandpaper or a sanding sponge, providing a perfectly smooth base for further painting. It does not clog details or fine lines, so the model retains all reproduced details.

Application difficulty rating: 1/5 – product is easy to use, suitable even for beginner modelers.

Recommendation: Primer is especially recommended for demanding plastic, resin, and wooden modelers who value high-quality surface finish before painting military models, civilian vehicles, figures, and miniatures. It will perform well in both historical modeling and modern diorama building.
