Rich Hull Red Tamiya 80309 Enamel XF-9 for Hobby Builds

The Tamiya Enamel XF-9 Hull Red offers a bold hull-red finish in a 10ml bottle, suitable for precision brushwork or controlled spraying. It adheres to common modelling materials like wood and plastic, making it a useful colour for scale vehicles, ships and scenic elements.

Best Practices for Application

For best spray performance, thin the enamel at roughly two parts thinner to ten parts paint. Correct thinning and even passes will help you achieve a smooth, consistent coat with good colour depth.

Builder FAQs

Should I test the colour before painting the main model?

Yes. Testing XF-9 on a scrap piece or hidden area helps confirm shade and adhesion under your workshop lighting before committing to the full model.

What thinning ratio should I use for an airbrush?

A working starting point is two parts thinner to ten parts paint for airbrushing; adjust slightly to suit nozzle size and air pressure for the best spray pattern.

Can lighting affect how hull red looks on the finished model?

Yes. The perceived shade of hull red can shift with lighting and gloss level, so view a test patch under your display conditions to verify the result.
