Tamiya XF91 IJN Gray Acrylic Paint

Tamiya's XF91 IJN Gray is a versatile acrylic paint designed for model enthusiasts who appreciate accuracy and quality. This paint is crafted from water-soluble acrylic resins, making it ideal for both brush painting and airbrushing. Whether you're working with styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, or common model plastics, this paint provides excellent coverage and smooth application.

Unique Color for Historical Accuracy

The XF91 shade replicates the distinct gray used on Imperial Japanese Navy ships constructed at the Yokosuka Arsenal, such as the Shinano and Shokaku. This historical accuracy makes it a favorite among model builders aiming for authenticity in their projects.

Application and Thinning Options

When airbrushing, it's important to use the appropriate Tamiya thinners for optimal results. The Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner and Tamiya Lacquer Thinner are recommended for thinning the paint. Using the lacquer thinner can speed up the drying process and produce a more durable finish. For brush painting, Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) can be used to achieve a smoother, brushstroke-free finish.

Finish and Clean-Up

The XF91 paint offers a flat finish, aligning with Tamiya's XF series specifications. Before the paint cures, it can be easily washed away with water, making clean-up straightforward and convenient.
