All-Purpose Acrylic for Scale Modellers

The Tamiya 81717 XF-17 Sea Blue comes in a 10ml bottle and uses water-soluble acrylic resins for easy handling. It works well with a brush or airbrush and bonds cleanly to styrene, wood and most modelling plastics.

Airbrush Use and Surface Compatibility

For smooth, even coats and easy blending, thin the paint when airbrushing. Use recommended Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to improve flow and finish without altering the base colour.

Can I apply this paint directly to unprimed plastic?

You can apply Tamiya acrylics to clean plastic, but light sanding and a suitable primer will improve adhesion and durability for handling and decals.

What thinning ratio is recommended for airbrushing?

Start with roughly 10-20% thinner and adjust for your airbrush and pressure. Use the listed Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 for consistent results.

How should I clean brushes and airbrushes after use?

Rinse tools with water immediately for brush work, and flush airbrushes with water then a suitable cleaner to remove any remaining acrylic before it dries.
