Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic XF61 Dark Green 3/4 oz

If you're like me you will soon get tired of buying the 10ml bottles of this color! This is a great all-purpose dark green, and the bigger pot is a better value. You may not think so, but you will use this a lot. I specifically got it for the camouflage pattern on WWI German planes, but it would work well in just about any military situation. Its consistency is a bit on the thick side, but thins well with water (though Tamiya also makes an acrylic thinner that is better), and if you thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water it will give a very nice brushstroke free look in 3-4 coats. Very good paint.

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.

Tamiya acrylics are great. This is almost identical to Model Master Marine Corps green, which I think is discontinued, and significantly darker than Tamiya Olive Green.

Airbrushes smoothly and evenly, thins easily with either Tamiya thinner or regular isopropyl alcohol. And is very close to RLM 83 as per Tamiya's instruction guide.

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.

This seemed to go on a little darker than I expected, probably my error but it’s easy to use and highly recommend.

Love tamiya acrylics. They dry quickly and lay down smooth. This color is exactly what I was looking for.

Great product from Tamiya as always. Airbrushes nicely with a little thining. Always lays down nice.

Tamiya makes excellent paint and it can be airbrushed with thinner

Have been happy in the past and still am with their products
