Tamiya 80308 XF-8 Flat Blue arrives in a 10ml bottle and is suited to both detailed brushwork and spray finishing. It performs well on plastic, timber and mixed media commonly used in modelling projects. When airbrushing, try a mix of ten parts paint to two parts thinner to produce an even spray.
Getting the viscosity right helps the paint level out and reduces runs on small parts. Thinning to the suggested ratio will give a cleaner surface and stronger adhesion on intricate pieces. Use light, overlapping passes to build colour without losing fine details.
The flat blue tone is balanced for scale accuracy and layering, and the enamel base gives a workable open time for blending and touch ups. That versatility makes this bottle handy for kits, conversions and scenic work alike.
