Flat Aluminium XF-16 by Tamiya for Detailed Model Finishes

The Tamiya 81716 XF-16 Flat Aluminium comes in a compact 10ml bottle and uses water-soluble acrylic resin for easy handling. It suits both brush painting and airbrushing and bonds well to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and common model plastics.

Smooth Finish and Colour Control

XF-16 offers consistent coverage and a steady flow, which helps create uniform flat metallic finishes. It mixes and layers cleanly, making it handy for subtle weathering and scale effects.

Preparing Paint for the Airbrush

For airbrushing, thin with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to reach the right spray consistency. Proper thinning improves atomisation and reduces clogging risks.

No. XF-16 is not intended for polycarbonate and may not adhere or flex with the shell. Choose paints labeled for polycarbonate for those parts.
Yes. Because XF-16 is water-soluble acrylic, uncured paint and brushes can be rinsed with water, though thinners are recommended for airbrush maintenance.
Yes. Its blending properties let you build washes and subtle transitions, making it suitable for scale weathering when applied in thin layers.
