Compact Acrylic for Detailed Modelling

This 10ml bottle of Tamiya XF-12 J.N. Grey mini acrylic is a handy option for hobbyists needing a neutral grey for fine detailing. The water soluble acrylic resin formula works well with both brush techniques and airbrushing, delivering even coverage and a controllable finish on small parts and figures.

Surface Compatibility

Tamiya XF-12 J.N. Grey bonds to a range of modelling substrates including styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most common modelling plastics. Its ability to lay down evenly makes it suitable for precise paintwork and layered shading on kits.

Airbrush and Thinner Recommendations

For airbrushing, thin XF-12 J.N. Grey using Tamiya thinners to achieve a consistent spray. Typical choices include the Tamiya thinner range such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 and 87077; always test on scrap to dial in the best ratio for your setup.

Can I use this paint on polycarbonate RC bodies?

This acrylic is not formulated for untreated polycarbonate RC bodies. For polycarbonate shells use paints made specifically for lexan or prepare and mask surfaces appropriately first.

How should I clean brushes after using XF-12 J.N. Grey?

Because the paint is water soluble, start with warm water and soap to remove most of the finish, then use brush cleaner if needed to keep bristles in good condition.

Is priming necessary before painting?

Priming is recommended for best adhesion and colour uniformity, especially on injection plastics and wood. Use a suitable primer compatible with acrylics for consistent results.
