Tamiya Acrylic Paint Mini X-1 Black

A deep, glossy black is one of the hardest-working colours on the bench, and Tamiya X-1 lays down a smooth, hard-wearing gloss coat every time. Whether you're finishing a car body, blacking in a canopy frame or picking out high-shine detail, this is the reliable black modellers keep coming back to.

A workbench essential. Airbrushes beautifully with a drop of Tamiya X-20A thinner — well worth keeping a bottle to hand.
