The Tamiya 81718 Mini Acrylic XF-18 Medium Blue is supplied in a 10ml bottle and is popular among modellers for its smooth finish and dependable coverage. It is intended for use on substrates such as styrol resins, Styrofoam and wood and performs well with either brush or airbrush application.
As a water based acrylic, it blends cleanly and is simple to wash up after use. It is appropriate for multiple common modelling materials and is handy for layering and repairs. For airbrush work, thin with one of the Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to maintain consistent spray and avoid nozzle blockages.
Make sure surfaces are free from dust and moisture before painting to encourage even adhesion. Thin incrementally until the spray suits your setup, and use a fine brush for detailed hand painting to preserve crisp lines.
