Overview of XF-22 for Scale Work

Tamiya 81322 XF-22 RLM Grey is a 23ml water-based acrylic designed for precision on scale models. It lays down smoothly and is suited to fine detail and panel shading on aircraft and vehicles.

Surfaces and Application Methods

This colour works well on styrene, Styrofoam, timber and many model plastics. The water-soluble acrylic base performs well with both traditional brushes and airbrush setups for even coverage.

Working with Mid Tones and Washes

The neutral tone of XF-22 makes it a useful mid range grey for washes and layered shading. It mixes cleanly with other acrylics to produce weathered effects and subtle tonal shifts.

Airbrush Thinning Guidance

For spray finishing use Tamiya thinners to reach the correct viscosity. Recommended thinners include Tamiya 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, and 87077 for a stable spray pattern.

XF-22 adheres reasonably to clean unprimed styrene, but using a light primer is recommended for best adhesion and to avoid patchiness on larger areas.
Drying varies with coat thickness and environment; thin airbrushed layers dry quickly while brush coats may take longer. Allow proper cure before handling or applying decals.
Use thinned XF-22 or a slightly lighter or darker mix to feather edges. Work in thin layers and wipe excess with a damp brush to soften transitions.
