Tamiya Acrylic Model Paint

Color: Medium Blue (XF-18)

Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or air-brushing. These paints can be used on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly, and can be blended easily. Prior to curing, paint can be washed away with plain water.

When airbrushing make sure to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.

  • X designated colors have a glossy finish while XF designated colors are flat finish.
  • The paint can be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
  • The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish.
  • For better paint brushing results use Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) for a smoother brushstroke free finish.

Perfect Blue for Trumpeter USS Arizona Build

After realizing Vallejo Blue-Gray wasnt the correct color for my Arizona build. I purchased the Tamiya Medium Blue and it was perfect. Tamiya always produces high quality paints and this particular paint is no exception.

Tamiya XF18 medium blue

Very nice color, sprays well after being thinned with X20A thinner, dries to very matte finish, easy to clean out of airbrush.

Tamiya XF-18 medium blue acrylic

A very nice versatile shade of blue, sprays very well through airbrush when properly thinned with X20A, very flat finish.

Used on a Academy SBD Dauntless, as expected Tamiya paint, high quality and went on very nicely.
