Overview of XF-52 Flat Earth

The Tamiya Enamel XF-52 Flat Earth comes as a compact 10ml bottle tailored for model builders who need a realistic, matt finish on a variety of substrates including plastic and timber. It is suitable for both hand brushing and spray application, giving a steady, uniform finish.

Best Practices for Application

When airbrushing, thin the enamel using a 2 to 10 thinner to paint proportion to ensure fine atomisation and uniform layering. The flat earth hue is subtle and works especially well on scale scenes and vehicle kits.

Will this paint cover wooden surfaces?

Yes, it can be used on wood provided the surface is sanded and primed if necessary to improve adhesion and evenness of the coat.

Can I brush this paint directly from the bottle?

You can apply it with a brush straight from the bottle for small details, though thinning slightly can help achieve smoother brush strokes.

Is priming recommended before painting?

Priming plastic or porous wood is recommended to get a uniform finish and to improve long term adhesion of the enamel.

How do I achieve a realistic matt result?

Apply thin, even coats and allow proper flash off between layers; the flat earth tone is inherently low sheen, which helps achieve a natural, scale appearance.
