Precision Acrylic for Scale Work

The 10ml Tamiya XF-73 Dark Green is formulated from water-based acrylic resins for neat application on detailed builds. It is engineered to give a controlled flow for both hand painting and spraying.

Recommended Substrates

This paint performs well on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most standard model plastics. It is a reliable option for accurate colour work on scale kits and diorama elements.

Airbrush Setup and Blending

XF-73 offers consistent blending characteristics for shading and layering. For airbrush use, thin appropriately with Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 and adjust pressure for clean atomisation.

Can XF-73 be used directly on metal parts?

Direct use on bare metal is not ideal; prepare the surface with a suitable primer or use paints formulated for metal to ensure adhesion.

Will XF-73 layer over enamel bases?

Acrylics can sit over fully cured enamel if the surface is clean, but adhesion varies so carry out a small test before full application.

What is the best technique for subtle weathering with this paint?

Use thinned washes and feathered drybrushing with XF-73 or mixed shades to create soft weathering; build effects in thin layers.

How long should I wait before sealing the paint?

Allow adequate curing time, typically several hours to a day depending on conditions, before applying a clear coat to avoid trapping solvents.
