XF-76 Gray-Green Colour for Scale Modelling

The Tamiya 81776 XF-76 Gray-Green comes in a 10ml bottle and is based on water-soluble acrylic resins, making it easy to thin and clean up after. It performs well on modelling materials such as Styrofoam, wood and most hobby plastics, giving broad compatibility across kit types.

Airbrush Flow and Brushability

Designed to spread smoothly and blend without obvious brush strokes, this acrylic is suited to both detailed hand work and larger airbrushed panels. For airbrushing, thin with Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to obtain consistent spray patterns.

Applications in Kits and Dioramas

While not tailored for polycarbonate RC shells, XF-76 is a solid choice for military models, figures and scenic elements where a realistic gray-green is needed. The paint provides dependable coverage and good colour depth.

What surfaces take this paint best?

It bonds well to conventional modelling plastics, wood and foamboard. For metal or smooth gloss surfaces, use a primer first to ensure proper adhesion.

How should I thin the paint for an airbrush?

Start with a small ratio of Tamiya thinner and adjust until you get a fine mist from your airbrush. The recommended thinners include 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 and 87077.

Any tips for matching weathered finishes?

Apply base coats, then use washes and drybrushing to build weathering. XF-76 blends well with washes and matt varnish layers to create worn effects.

Is cleanup straightforward after painting?

Yes, the water-soluble formula makes brush cleanup and thinning simple with appropriate solvent. Follow safety guidelines for disposal and ventilation.
