Acrylic paint set Army Painter TAPAW8003 — 126 x 18 ml bottles, assorted colors for miniatures

The Army Painter Acrylic Paint Set TAPAW8003 contains 126 individual 18 ml bottles of water-based acrylic paint in an extensive range of colours intended for painting miniatures and scale models. The set includes a mix of matt and metallic shades, bright and muted tones, and speciality hues that cover basecoating, layering and fine detailing tasks. These liquid paints are formulated for brush or airbrush use, come pre-thinned for airbrush application and include ultra-filtered pigments to support smooth, consistent coverage on plastic, resin and metal miniatures.

Advantages

This complete collection provides a broad palette that reduces the need to mix large quantities of custom colours, and the pre-thinned Air formulation saves preparation time when using an airbrush. The paints are water-based and non-toxic, allowing easy thinning, cleaning and blending with water or recommended acrylic thinners. Ultra-filtered pigments and a consistent flow profile help to achieve even coats, while included mixing balls assist bottle mixing for uniform colour and pigment suspension.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing full armies and large models
• Basecoating miniatures before hand-painting

How to use

Shake each bottle thoroughly before use, using the included steel mixing balls to ensure pigments are evenly suspended. For airbrush application the Air formulation is ready-to-use directly from the bottle; if required adjust viscosity with water or a manufacturer-recommended thinner to match your airbrush and nozzle size. For brushwork apply thin, even layers and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Test sprays or strokes on a scrap surface to confirm colour and flow before working on finished models.

Usage recommendations

Store paints upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When airbrushing, strain paint if you observe clogging and clean your airbrush regularly to maintain consistent spray performance. Use a suitable primer on miniatures for best adhesion and longevity of the paint film. Observe standard safety precautions: avoid ingestion, prolonged skin contact and ensure adequate ventilation when airbrushing.
