The bottle contains 10 ml of high-quality Tamiya oil-based hobby paint in Dark Green, designed for precise painting of plastic models and other modeling surfaces.
The Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green hobby paint is intended for plastic modeling, but it works well on metal and wooden surfaces too. It is perfect for painting details, parts, and entire models in modeling workshops.
Compatibility and Color Mixing
Tamiya enamel paints are a standard in modeling, often featured in painting instructions by model manufacturers. Series numbers starting with XF- facilitate color matching and achieving effects consistent with the original.
Mixing paints in the proportions specified in the instructions is possible, e.g., XF-1:2 + XF-4:1 to obtain a specific shade.
Surface Preparation
Surfaces should be clean and degreased.
Applying a spray primer, e.g., Tamiya Surface Primer, is recommended for better adhesion and even coverage.
Oil-based paints can also be applied without primer, but adhesion will be better on prepared surfaces.
Application Methods
Brush Painting
For painting small surfaces, the paint can be used without thinning. For larger areas, it is recommended to lightly dilute it with Tamiya X-20 thinner. The paint provides good coverage and applies evenly. To clean brushes, use the same X-20 thinner.
Airbrush Painting
Tamiya XF-61 paints are suitable for airbrush application, requiring thinning at a 1:1 ratio with Tamiya X-20 thinner. It is advisable to use respiratory protection (mask) and work in a well-ventilated area or with an exhaust hood. Cleaning the airbrush is done with X-20 thinner.
