Studio-Ready Acrylic for Hobby Kits

The Tamiya 81717 XF-17 Sea Blue is a compact 10ml acrylic formulated to be water-soluble and easy to control. It lays down smoothly on styrene, timber and typical modelling plastics and is convenient for touchups.

Preparation and Thinning Tips

For a clean finish when airbrushing, thin the paint with recommended Tamiya thinners including 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077. Thinning helps prevent clogging and gives a finer spray pattern for delicate work.

Is Tamiya XF-17 safe on foam materials?

Yes, this acrylic is generally safe on foam, but test a small area first to ensure the specific foam type is unaffected.

Will this paint mix well to create custom shades?

You can blend Tamiya acrylics to tweak tones; mix small amounts gradually and test on scrap to match the desired shade.

Can I use a gloss or matt topcoat over this paint?

Yes, once fully dry you can apply compatible clear coats. Always check compatibility on a sample to avoid lifting.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying varies with thickness and humidity. Thin coats dry touch-dry in minutes and reach handling strength within an hour under normal conditions.
