Practical Acrylic for Scale Model Work

This 10ml bottle of Tamiya XF-88 Dark Yellow 2 delivers a dependable acrylic option for hobbyists working on model kits, figures and small dioramas. Formulated from water-soluble acrylic resins, it works well for both hand brushing and airbrushing, and bonds to common materials like styrene, expanded polystyrene, wood and similar modelling plastics.

Even Coverage and Simple Cleanup

XF-88 is noted for its smooth flow and solid coverage, making it easy to blend tones and lay down fine detail. While the paint is still wet it rinses away with plain water, which simplifies corrections. For airbrush users, Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner helps reach an appropriate spraying consistency, while Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can speed drying and toughen the finish.

Matte Finish and Brush Improvements

This colour is part of Tamiya's flat finish range, giving a low sheen matte appearance ideal for scale accuracy. For better brushwork, try Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) to reduce visible brush marks and extend open time. XF-88 is a handy colour to keep in any modeller's paint box.

Yes. Tamiya XF-88 is formulated to adhere to styrene and most hobby plastics when the surface is clean and primed if needed.
Start with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner and test ratios on scrap plastic. Add small amounts until the spray pattern is smooth; use Lacquer Thinner only if you need faster drying and a tougher film.
Use thin, multiple coats and consider Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) to keep the paint workable longer. Light varnish layers can also hide minor brush marks.
