Easy-to-Use Acrylic for Scale Modellers

The Tamiya 81708 XF-8 Flat Blue Acrylic Paint comes in a 10ml bottle and is formulated from water-soluble acrylic resins for versatile hobby use. It is suitable for both brush painting and airbrushing, giving smooth flow and good coverage for base coats and detail work.

Recommended Materials

This acrylic works well on common modelling substrates including styrol resins, Styrofoam and wood, as well as standard model plastics. Expect a consistent flat blue finish across these surfaces with minimal colour shift.

Airbrush Preparation Tips

When airbrushing XF-8, thin as needed with approved Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to reach the desired viscosity. Strain the paint and adjust pressure for an even spray and to reduce clogging.

How well does this paint mix with other acrylics?

You can blend it with other water-based acrylics, but test a small mix first to check colour and adhesion. Use similar thinners and allow a test panel to fully dry before committing to a model.

Do I need a primer under this paint?

A light primer is recommended on bare plastic or porous materials to improve adhesion and uniformity of the flat finish. Choose a primer compatible with acrylic paints.

What is the best way to clean brushes after use?

Clean brushes with warm water and mild soap while the paint is wet. For paint that has started to dry, use an acrylic brush cleaner or isopropyl alcohol sparingly to avoid damage.
