Compact Acrylic for Precise Model Work

The 10ml Tamiya 81751 XF-51 Khaki Drab provides a controlled, even coat for model enthusiasts. As part of Tamiya's acrylic range it is prized for smooth laying and good coverage on styrol resins, Styrofoam, timber and ordinary model plastics.

Mixing and Spray Advice

Use XF-51 with a brush or an airbrush according to your workflow. For airbrushing, thin with Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to obtain a fine atomisation. The paint is mix-friendly for weathering and shading work.

Substrate Compatibility and Care

This Khaki Drab is water soluble for convenient cleanup while wet, but dries to a robust finish. It performs best on cleaned or primed surfaces intended for modelling applications.

Does XF-51 need a specific primer on plastic kits?

While XF-51 adheres well to many plastics, applying a suitable primer improves adhesion and evens out porous or repaired surfaces before painting.

Are the recommended thinners essential for airbrushing?

Yes, for best spray performance use Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to maintain colour and drying characteristics.

How long does XF-51 take to fully cure?

Drying time varies with film thickness and conditions; handle lightly once tack-free and allow additional time for full curing before sealing or subjecting to wear.

Can I use XF-51 for fine detail work?

Yes, the 10ml size is handy for touch ups and detailing. Use fine brushes and thin the paint slightly for smooth application on small areas.

What is the best way to remove paint from brushes?

Clean brushes with water and mild soap while the paint is wet. For hardened residue, use a brush cleaner compatible with acrylics to restore bristles.
