Mini Acrylic XF-79 Lino Deck Brown from Tamiya 81779

The Tamiya 81779 XF-79 Lino Deck Brown is a 10ml acrylic made for modellers seeking an authentic deck brown tone. Its water-soluble base is convenient for blending and cleanup, and the bottle size is ideal for both detail work and small restorations.

Materials and Usage

This paint is suitable for use on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, and general model plastics. It mixes well for subtle shading and can be thinned for airbrush work. Recommended Tamiya thinners include 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, and 87077 to help control flow and finish.

Finish and Handling

Tamiya acrylics are praised for smooth flow and dependable drying, which makes layering and weathering straightforward. XF-79 delivers a stable finish that responds well to topcoats and matt or gloss seals.

Do I need a primer under XF-79?

Priming non-porous plastics is recommended to improve adhesion and uniformity, though porous materials may accept paint without primer depending on your goal.

Is XF-79 compatible with varnishes?

Yes, once fully dry you can apply compatible acrylic or enamel topcoats. Test a small area to ensure no adverse reaction before finishing the whole model.

Which brushes work best for this paint?

Fine synthetic brushes are suitable for detail work while larger sable or synthetic brushes work well for broader coverage; rinse brushes promptly after use.

Can XF-79 be mixed with other brands?

Mixing across brands can change drying and finish characteristics. If you mix, do so in small batches and allow a full dry test before applying to your main model.

How long will an opened bottle last?

Shelf life depends on storage and contamination; keep the cap tight and store in a cool place to extend usability, and discard if the paint thickens or shows signs of spoilage.
