About XF-71 Cockpit Green from Tamiya 81771

The Tamiya 81771 XF-71 Cockpit Green is supplied in a 10ml bottle and is based on a water-soluble acrylic resin. It is suitable for styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and standard model plastics, offering reliable handling for hobby work.

Finish Quality and Mixing

Designed for both hand brushing and airbrushing, XF-71 provides consistent coverage and smooth flow. Its mixing characteristics let hobbyists fine tune shades for accurate cockpit and interior effects.

Thinner Choices for Airbrush Use

When airbrushing, use Tamiya thinners like 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to ensure the paint maintains a stable viscosity and bonds well to the model surface.

Can I use enamel washes over this acrylic?

You can apply enamel washes over cured acrylics, but sealing the acrylic with a clear coat first will prevent the wash from softening the underlying paint.

Is XF-71 suitable for weathering techniques?

Yes, once fully dry XF-71 accepts weathering methods such as pin washes and dry brushing. Use an appropriate sealer for heavier treatments.

How should I prepare parts before painting?

Clean parts to remove oils and mould release agents, lightly sand if necessary, and apply primer to ensure even coverage and adhesion of the acrylic.

Can this paint be thinned for fine detail airbrushing?

Yes, thin XF-71 with the recommended Tamiya thinners for fine detail work. Adjust thinning gradually to match your airbrush and nozzle size.
