Dark Copper Acrylic for Precision Modelling

The Tamiya 81728 XF-28 Dark Copper Acrylic Paint is supplied in a 10ml bottle and is prized for even coverage and fine control on scale kits and miniatures. It lays down smoothly on styrol resins, typical model plastics and wood, keeping surface detail crisp.

Application Notes and Compatibility

This water-soluble acrylic can be applied with a brush or an airbrush. For airbrushing, thin the paint with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to reach the correct flow. Its blendability makes shading and subtle weathering straightforward.

Main Benefits

  • Based on a water-soluble acrylic resin for easy cleanup
  • Works on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and most modelling plastics
  • Blendable and suitable for layering techniques
  • Designed to be thinned with Tamiya-listed thinners for airbrush use

Is the colour suitable for military or civilian kits?

The dark copper tone works well for both military weathering accents and civilian models that need metallic detail. Use sparing coats to keep the metallic effect subtle.

Do I need a primer first?

A light primer improves adhesion on bare plastic and ensures uniform finish, especially when airbrushing. Choose a primer compatible with acrylic paints.

What is the best way to create highlights?

Layer thin glazes and blend edges while paint is tacky, or use very thinned XF-28 in an airbrush for fine metallic highlights. Test techniques on a scrap before applying to the model.
