Tamiya TAM81008 Acrylic X8 Lemon Yellow Gloss Paint (23ml)

The Tamiya TAM81008 Acrylic X8 Lemon Yellow Gloss Paint is a water-soluble acrylic model paint in a gloss finish formulation, supplied in a 23ml jar. X-series Tamiya acrylics are gloss finish paints suitable for scale modeling, dioramas, figures, and general hobby painting on plastic, styrene, wood, and Styrofoam. The paint covers well, flows smoothly, and blends easily for both brush painting and airbrushing. Prior to curing, the paint can be cleaned up with plain water. Mix with Tamiya X21 Flat Base to reduce or eliminate gloss if a flat or semi-gloss finish is needed.
