Overview of Tamiya XF-71 Cockpit Green

Handling and Blending Notes

This paint performs well with both brush and airbrush application, offering smooth laydown and good coverage. Its blending properties help modellers achieve subtle tonal transitions for cockpit interiors and fine detailing.

Airbrush Thinner Options

For airbrushing, thin with Tamiya-compatible thinners such as 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, or 87077 to maintain consistent spray patterns and surface adhesion.

Is a clear coat recommended after painting?

Applying a clear coat can protect the finish and help unify sheen. Choose a compatible acrylic clear if you want to preserve the water-based properties.

Will this adhere to common modelling plastics like polystyrene?

Yes, XF-71 is formulated to stick to common modelling plastics such as polystyrene. Light sanding and cleaning the surface first will improve adhesion.

Any tips for masking while using this paint?

Use low tack modelling tape and allow paint to fully cure before removing masks to avoid lifting. For crisp edges, thin layers sprayed at a distance work best.
