Mini Acrylic for Detailing and Basecoats

Tamiya 81709 XF-9 Hull Red comes in a 10ml bottle that works well for both fine detail and larger base layers. The water-based acrylic adapts to brush and airbrush techniques and bonds to styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood and common modelling plastics.

Surface Prep and Suitability

Good opacity and flow make this Hull Red simple to apply in thin layers, reducing brush marks and improving airbrush coverage. It is suitable for small parts and panel work on scale models.

Airbrush Tips and Thinning

For airbrushing, thin with recommended Tamiya thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520 or 87077 to achieve smooth atomisation. Trial sprays will help you find the best mix for your gun and nozzle size.

Should I sand between coats?

Light sanding between coats can improve adhesion and smoothness, especially before applying a clear topcoat. Use fine grit and clean off dust before the next application.

Can I mix this to alter the shade?

Yes, you can blend small amounts with other Tamiya acrylics to tweak the hue. Keep records of ratios so you can match the colour again if needed.

How should I store opened bottles?

Seal the bottle tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain paint quality. Stir or roll gently before use if the pigment has settled.
