Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic XF-57 Flat Buff 3/4 oz

Tamiya makes the hobby paint on the planet. Its so easy to work with. The coverage is awesome. At first, coming from Testors, I was hesitant because Testors is so thin and barely covers. Once I used it, it was a game changer. I will be switching all my paints to Tamiya.

I got back into modeling recently and began building my toolkit. The Tamiya paints were part of that first paint kit, primarily for WW2 German and US infantry, tanks, vehicles and planes. This paint brushes on well and I mix it 1:1 with thinner when airbrushing.

If you are into building armor or artillery models this color is a must to have. One of the most versatile colors to have in your collection and a perfect candidate to be mixed with any other tamiya colors to give it that buff effect on your armor!

I finally found a tan color that I like for wooden decks of battleships. The Tamiya XF series paints are all great. They dry very fast, though, so you might need thinner or the retarder for brushing larger areas.

Love it. You can use it after you've airbrushed whatever and it'll help tone down the shine a color may have. Just don't get crazy with it. Just a lite coat and further back than normal

Paint to Thinner range 2:1 to 1:1 for airbrushing depending on air pressure, paint volume and distance from subject. Experiment on scrap plastic first.

Love tamiya paint. easy to mix. easy out of the airbrush. Like buff as a dusting color for undercarriage and lower hull predusting on model tanks.

First time ever using this name of paint, Very slick (nice) going on with no issues on applying. Will be buying more needed.

This is a great paint. Great price too. Very sharp color. May require additional thinner to apply properly to plastic model

This color is like a mix between grey and yellow so it has lots of uses. Very nice.

I use this color as a mixture for many other colors to flatten the hue.

Always happy with tamiya. Shipped quickly. Can’t wait to use it.
