Subtle Matte Varnish for Models

Tamiya XF-86 Flat Clear (81786) is supplied in a 10ml bottle and provides a subdued matte coat that enhances scale realism on models and figures. Its water-soluble acrylic resin base bonds to styrol resins, polystyrene, wood and common modelling plastics. It is usable with both hand brushes and airbrush setups when thinned correctly.

Why Use XF-86 Flat Clear

Water-Soluble: Easy to thin and clean up, reducing reliance on harsh solvents in the work area.
Good Surface Hold: Offers steady adhesion across a variety of modelling substrates for a uniform finish.
Blend Friendly: Works well when layered or mixed with acrylics for tailored flatness and weathered looks.

Excellent Service, Prompt Deliveries, Good Prices. One of the best, if not the best, model e-shop I have dealt with. Strongly Recommended. Keep Up the Good Work.

Is XF-86 suitable for painted polycarbonate bodies?

No. XF-86 is not recommended for polycarbonate shells. Use paints specifically made for polycarbonate if working with RC car bodies.

Can I apply XF-86 over enamel or lacquer paints?

Overpainting enamel or lacquer may require compatible primers and good curing time. Test on a spare piece to ensure there is no lifting or softening.

Any tips for achieving a smooth flat coat?

Apply several thin, even coats rather than one thick layer, keep the airbrush moving, and allow full drying between passes to avoid orange peel or pooling.
