Compact Flat Blue for Model Finishing

The Tamiya 81708 XF-8 Flat Blue comes as a 10ml bottle of water-based acrylic designed for hobby use. It provides a smooth, matte appearance and can be applied by brush or thinned for airbrushing.

Where to Use It

This paint is compatible with typical modelling materials including styrol resins, Styrofoam and wood, along with regular polystyrene model plastics. It dries to a uniform flat blue that works well as a base or final coat.

Airbrush Setup Advice

For airbrush work, dilute XF-8 with the recommended Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to achieve the right spray consistency. Use a fine filter and adjust nozzle pressure to avoid orange peel.

What drying time should I expect?

Touch dry times vary with thickness and conditions but expect a surface dry in 10 to 20 minutes. Allow longer curing before handling or applying clear coats.

Can I apply a clear coat over this paint?

Yes, once fully cured you can use an acrylic-compatible clear coat for protection or sheen changes. Test on a spare piece to confirm compatibility and adhesion.

Are those thinner codes safe to use in my airbrush?

The recommended Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 and 87077 are formulated for these paints. Use them as directed and ventilate the workspace when spraying.
