FAQ

Compact Acrylic for Miniatures and Kits

The Tamiya 81717 XF-17 Sea Blue is supplied in a 10ml bottle and uses a water-soluble acrylic base that is easy to handle. It adheres to styrene, wood and many model plastics, making it versatile for kit builds.

Compatibility and Airbrushing Advice

To get an even spray and smooth blends, thin with Tamiya thinners listed as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077. Adjust dilution to your airbrush setup to avoid splattering and to maintain colour consistency.

Do I need to prime before applying this paint?

Priming is recommended for the best adhesion and to reveal surface flaws. A thin primer layer will help the XF-17 sit evenly on the model.

What is the best way to store opened bottles?

Keep caps sealed and store upright in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paint quality and prevent skinning.

Can I use this paint straight from the bottle for brushwork?

Yes, it can be used directly for brush painting, though thinning slightly can improve flow for fine detail work.

How do I prevent clogging in the airbrush?

Filter the paint if necessary and thin appropriately with the recommended Tamiya thinners. Regular cleaning between sessions also prevents build up.
