TAMIYAPanel Line Accent Color 40ml Black TAM87131 Plastics Paint Enamels

As someone who builds Gundam model kits, I’ve found the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color in black to be an essential part of my detailing process. Here’s why it stands out:Pros:Amazing for Panel Lining: This accent color is fantastic for bringing out the details in my Gundam kits. It flows smoothly into the panel lines, adding depth and contrast to the model, which makes the details pop. It’s perfect for giving the kits a more realistic, dynamic look without much effort.Easy to Use: The applicator brush included in the cap is very precise, making it easy to control the amount of paint you apply. I love how it works well even in fine, narrow panel lines, and any excess can be wiped off with thinner or a cotton swab for clean lines.Great Coverage: The coverage of this enamel paint is excellent. A small amount goes a long way, so even though the bottle is only 40ml, it lasts through multiple kits. The black color provides a bold contrast, which works especially well on lighter-colored plastics or areas where you want the details to really stand out.Quick Drying Time: The drying time is reasonably fast, which means I can continue working on other parts of the kit without waiting too long. Once dried, it stays put, adding a professional finish to the model.Cons:Requires Careful Application: Because it’s an enamel-based paint, it’s important to use it with care. You’ll want to avoid getting it on unlined surfaces unless you’re ready to clean it up quickly. Using a good enamel thinner is a must if you need to clean up any mistakes, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to manage.Final Thoughts: The Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color is an amazing tool for anyone building Gundam models or working on other detailed plastic kits. It brings out the finer details with ease and adds a layer of realism to the final build. As long as you take care with the application and have thinner on hand for cleanup, it’s an essential product for any modeler’s toolkit. Highly recommend it for adding that extra level of depth to your projects!

Great product, used it for a car model challenge for my car group so that the cold weather would not affect the challenge. We do a challenge during the heat of the summer and the cold of winter

Getting back into the hobby after 40 years, this stuff is wonderful for detailing and accents line door seams on cars and adding depth to parts by darkening the lower or deeper portions of the parts.

Mad at myself cause I didn’t get this sooner. This makes any model whatsoever look so much better and add more depth to the crevices and gaps

Just make sure to shake it before use as it tends to settle, and I've been using mr. Clean magic eraser lately to take the excess off after I've finished with the panel lines

This paint ink is fantastic! The colors are vibrant, and it dries quickly without smudging. Perfect for my art projects—great quality for the price.

As a miniature painter I usually see folks do pin-washing with thinned oil paints, so when I started Gunpla and I saw this already made in a bottle I checked it out. I fully dig it. Not much more to say, I guess. It's pre-made panel-liner in a bottle, 5/5 would recommend....

Not familiar with these only downside was felt watered down? First time using model paints so take that on mind with my rating
