Achieve Realistic Weathering Effects with Tamiya Chipping Liquid

Tamiya's 87225 Chipping Liquid is specifically designed for hobbyists aiming to create authentic weathering effects on their model kits. Whether you're working on armor, aircraft, or sci-fi models, this liquid helps simulate paint chipping and wear with precision.

Step-by-Step Usage Guide

For best results, follow these steps to achieve a realistic weathered look on your models:

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.
