Handy 10ml Acrylic for Scale Models

Tamiya 81709 XF-9 Hull Red is supplied in a small 10ml bottle ideal for touch ups and full coats on scale kits. Its water-based nature allows straightforward application by brush or airbrush and suits styrol resins, Styrofoam, wooden kits and common modelling plastics.

Recommended Surfaces and Effects

This Hull Red gives even coverage and a smooth laydown, which helps when painting panel lines or larger panels. It can be blended for subtle tonal work and holds detail well on small parts.

Mixing Ratios and Thinners

For airbrushing, thin with Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to reach the viscosity your gun requires. Test and adjust ratios until you get even atomisation.

Will this paint harm polystyrene components?

The formula is described as compatible with styrol resins and Styrofoam. As with any paint, test on a spare piece first to check for softening or reaction.

Which Tamiya thinners should I try?

Tamiya lists 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 and 87077 as suitable thinning options. Start with a light dilution and increase until spray quality is stable.

Can I seal this paint with a clear coat?

You can apply a compatible acrylic or lacquer clear once the paint is fully cured. Test compatibility on a scrap area to avoid any adverse reaction between layers.
