Professional-Grade Feel from Tamiya XF-57 Buff

The 23ml Tamiya XF-57 Buff is an acrylic paint based on water-soluble resins that delivers steady coverage for model builds. It is formulated to work well with both brush and airbrush applications on common modelling substrates.

Works Well on Many Modelling Materials

XF-57 Buff adheres to styrol resins, Styrofoam and wood, offering a smooth finish that supports blending and subtle effects. Its balance of flow and opacity makes it suitable for basecoats and touch-up work.

Low-Mess Handling and Maintenance

The water-mixable formula simplifies thinning and cleaning, reducing solvent needs when managing tools and brushes. This makes Tamiya XF-57 Buff a practical choice for regular modelling sessions.

Is XF-57 suitable for primed surfaces?

Yes. Applying XF-57 over a suitable primer helps with adhesion and achieves a more uniform finish.

How do I clean brushes after using this paint?

Clean brushes with water immediately after use; for dried paint, soak in warm water before gently reshaping bristles.

Can I mix XF-57 with other acrylics for custom shades?

Yes, XF-57 mixes with other water-based acrylics. Test mixes in small amounts to check colour and consistency before applying to your model.

What precautions for painting fine details?

Use a fine-point brush or a low-pressure airbrush setting and thin the paint slightly to improve flow for crisp detailing.

How should I store the bottle between sessions?

Seal the cap tightly and store upright in a cool, dry place to prevent skinning and maintain paint consistency.
