Flat Aluminium XF-16 by Tamiya for Scale Modelling

The Tamiya 81716 XF-16 Flat Aluminium is presented in a 10ml bottle and uses water-soluble acrylic resin as its base. It is appropriate for both brush application and airbrushing and adheres well to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and common modelling plastics.

Finish Quality and Application

This acrylic gives steady coverage and a consistent matte metallic appearance. Its blending capability supports smooth transitions and delicate detailing on small-scale builds.

Recommended Thinners and Usage Advice

For airbrushing, thin XF-16 with one of Tamiya's suggested thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to obtain optimal spray behaviour. Proper thinning will help avoid spitting and uneven coats.

No. Lexan or polycarbonate bodies need paints designed for that material. XF-16 is intended for solid modelling plastics and other rigid surfaces.
Recommended surfaces include styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and typical modelling plastics. It is not for polycarbonate or highly flexible materials.
Clean immediately after use with appropriate cleaner or thinners, rinsing until no pigment remains. Regular maintenance prevents clogs and ensures consistent spray patterns.
