Mini Acrylic Bottle for Hobby Builders

The Tamiya 81718 Mini Acrylic XF-18 Medium Blue is a 10ml pot aimed at model builders and RC hobbyists. It applies evenly and gives good coverage on styrol resins, Styrofoam and wood, and works with both brush and airbrush techniques.

Materials and Cleanup

This paint is water solvable for easy blending and straightforward cleanup. It bonds well to common modelling substrates and is useful for base coats and spot repairs. For spray work, thin with recommended Tamiya thinners 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 for smoother atomisation.

Simple Usage Tips

Prepare surfaces by cleaning and allowing them to dry fully before painting to help adhesion. Adjust thinning until you get a fine, even spray; use a fine tipped brush for precise hand painting and small details.

Is priming required before using this paint?

Priming is recommended on bare or problematic surfaces to improve adhesion and uniformity, especially for large panels or different substrate types.

Can I thin this with water in a pinch?

The paint is water soluble but using the specified Tamiya thinners will give better flow and droplet control for airbrushing than plain water.

Will the colour change after drying?

Some acrylics can lighten slightly as they dry. Apply a test swatch and allow it to fully dry to see the final shade before finishing large areas.
