Scale Accurate Tamiya 80358 Enamel XF-58 Olive Green Paint

The Tamiya Enamel XF-58 Olive Green arrives in a 10ml bottle and is optimised for modellers seeking a reliable olive shade for scale aircraft, armour and scenery. It performs well on plastics and timber when surfaces are prepared correctly.

Thinning and Coverage Recommendations

Thin for spraying at about 2 parts enamel thinner to 10 parts paint to gain a smooth, controllable coat. Apply thin passes and allow adequate drying between layers to preserve detail and avoid sagging.

Finishing and Weathering with XF-58

Enamel paints like XF-58 are suited to layered weathering techniques and pin washes due to their work time. The colour holds up well under matt or satin varnishes used in final finishing.

Decals adhere well to a fully cured enamel surface. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly and consider a light gloss coat before applying decals to prevent silvering.
Yes, many acrylic primers are compatible, but check compatibility on a test piece. Priming improves adhesion and evens out porous substrates prior to enamel topcoats.
You can apply varnishes after the enamel has fully cured. Test on a scrap first and use compatible products to avoid lifting or clouding the enamel finish.
Use a respirator, work in a ventilated area and wear gloves. Enamel thinners and solvents are volatile, so proper PPE and airflow are important for safety.
