Acrylics & Paint Sets for RC Models | Page 3

Bring your RC and scale projects to life with our Acrylics range, featuring trusted brands like Tamiya, Guild Materials and Hobbynox. Water-based and low odour, acrylic paints are ideal for hard plastic bodies, interiors, drivers and scale accessories, delivering smooth, fast-drying colour by brush or airbrush. Tamiya X/XF acrylics offer superb coverage for detailing, while Hobbynox airbrush acrylics atomise cleanly straight from the bottle. Guild Materials complements your toolkit with versatile modelling shades, plus compatible thinners and mediums. For best results, lightly key hard plastics, apply a suitable primer, then build colour in thin coats. Thin with the manufacturer’s thinner (or de-ionised water where recommended) for airbrushing, and use flow improver or retarder to reduce tip-dry. Protect finished work with a clear varnish in matte, satin or gloss. Note: for flexible polycarbonate (Lexan) shells we recommend dedicated polycarbonate paints, available elsewhere in our Paints range; use acrylics primarily for detailing and hard parts. Wheelspin Models holds large stocks ready to ship with UK next day delivery options, and our friendly, knowledgeable team is on hand to help you pick the right colours, thinners and accessories for your build.
