Tamiya 81705 XF-5 Flat Green Mini Acrylic Bottle

The Tamiya 81705 Mini Acrylic XF-5 Flat Green comes in a 10ml bottle and is intended for model makers and hobby painters. This water-soluble acrylic adheres well to styrol resins, Styrofoam, timber and most common modelling plastics, and is suitable for both hand brushing and airbrushing.

Application Tips and Thinner Choices

XF-5 provides smooth laydown and reliable coverage for fine detail and broader panels alike. It blends cleanly for weathering techniques and layered shading. For the right spray viscosity, combine with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077.

Ideal Projects and Limitations

This acrylic is a good pick for military kits, miniatures and scenic elements where a flat green is needed, though it is not formulated for polycarbonate RC bodies. Expect realistic, low-sheen finishes that photograph well in scale scenes.

You should thin the paint for airbrushing to avoid clogging and to get an even spray. Use the recommended Tamiya thinners for best results.
Yes. The flat finish and good coverage make XF-5 handy for painting bases, terrain pieces and weathered scenery in dioramas.
Keep the bottle sealed and stored upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain consistency and colour stability.
You can mix with other water-based acrylics, but test first as formulations vary. Consistency and finish may differ between brands.
