Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF49 Khaki 1/3 oz

Good dark tan (khaki) colored acrylic paint. I think this is perfect for a variety of things, from the tan and green (aka 'sand and spinach') camouflage scheme for the P-40 to a pair of slacks for a well-dressed man. It definitely is a versatile color! The smaller pots aren't as good of a value as the ' oz., but they are still worth it if you're not planning on using it a lot. It's a really good paint for the airbrush, but it can also be used with normal brushes too. Its consistency is a bit on the thick side, but thins well with water (though Tamiya also makes an acrylic thinner that is better). For brush painting you should thin it to 5-6 parts paint to 1 part water to get a very nice brushstroke free look in 3-4 coats. For airbrushing, thin more. 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.

The paint is what is listed. The paint looks clean and new. It a Tamiya paint. The labels doesn't come lose.

This is a nice base for Red Army WWII battle dress as well as quilted winter jackets and trousers.

I use this khaki color for most crew member military uniforms
