Flat Yellow Designed for Model Work

The XF-3 Flat Yellow from Tamiya is a water-soluble acrylic paint that balances coverage with user-friendly handling. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, it is appropriate for brushing and airbrushing and adheres well to materials such as styrol resins, Styrofoam, and wood.

Thinning Advice and Material Notes

This flat yellow flows evenly and blends into adjoining coats to produce a consistent matte finish. It works on most model plastics, and for airbrushing we recommend thinning with Tamiya thinners like 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to achieve optimal spray characteristics.

Good for Detail and Base Coats

Whether applying base colour or finishing fine details, XF-3 Flat Yellow delivers steady results while remaining easy to clean due to its water-soluble formula. That makes it a reliable option for regular hobby use.

Is this paint suitable for foam terrain pieces?

Yes, the water-soluble formula is generally safe on Styrofoam, but test a small area first to confirm there is no reaction with the foam used.

Can I varnish over XF-3 once dry?

Once fully dry, you can apply a compatible clear coat or varnish to protect the finish; allow adequate drying time before sealing.

Does it require a primer on plastic kits?

While it adheres to many plastics, using a plastic primer can improve longevity and colour uniformity, especially on smoother kit parts.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying time depends on film thickness and conditions, but thin coats typically feel dry to the touch within 15 to 30 minutes and cure fully over several hours.
