This Tamiya 87160 Oxide Red primer is ideal for scale modelers, particularly those working on Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) like tanks. Its key benefit is providing a realistic anti-rust undercoat that also serves as an excellent base for subsequent paint layers or weathering effects. A potential caveat is its specific color, which is intended for military vehicle applications.

Shake the can well, hold it about 20-30 cm away from the model, and apply in thin, even coats in a well-ventilated area.
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. The nozzle may be partially clogged; try cleaning it by spraying upside down until clear. Temperature may also be a factor; spray in a warmer environment if possible.
Make sure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Lightly sanding the surface can also improve adhesion. Ensure the primer is applied in thin, even coats.
Immediately after spraying, invert the can and press the nozzle for 3-5 seconds until only clear propellant is emitted. If still clogged, you may need to remove and clean the nozzle or replace it.
Setup: Ensure the area where you are spraying is well-ventilated. Shake the spray can vigorously for at least one minute after hearing the mixing ball rattle. Hold the can upright and approximately 20-30 cm away from the model surface.
Compatibility: This primer is suitable for various plastic model kits and is designed to work with Tamiya's line of paints and modeling supplies. It can be used on surfaces such as plastic, metal (including photo-etched parts), and previously painted surfaces (after proper preparation).
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After use, clean the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges. Dispose of the empty can responsibly according to local regulations.
