Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF-1 Flat Black

Product Information

This mix is between my book sample and SCC 5, the best that I could manage easily but since it was a theatre colour then there must have been some variations.

Keep in mind that this is a very improvised comparison, but all comments and criticism are welcome. This is the colour that replaced SCC 2 brown as the basic colour from April 1944 on for use in NWE and Italy to avoid the need to repaint US equipment. But NOT Bailey Bridges, these remained SCC 2 brown.

Used in India and Burma on British and Commonwealth vehicles from about late 1942 - 1945 so your Chinese & Indian Sherman Vs and M3 Lees can be real dull now, as can many softskins too. It would have helped. Mix 2 pts XF51 + 1 pt XF61 + 1 pt XF3. What matters most to me with paint is performance, first and foremost in the airbrush. I don't shop around for paint - I buy it where I find it. Lastly, I tried mixing Tamiya's old recommendation for RAF Dark Green, XF-61 Dark Green, with XF-81. This is a 1:1 ratio mix of the two:We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons: Use enough pressure to allow your airbrush to atomise it properly. That may not be the same as what someone else recommends, but your 20psi is a long away from what I use. This was the colour specified in MTP 20 for use in scheme 1 for 'average European conditions'. This colour is matched to the colour that I use over Khaki Green 3 and which is based on the use of complimentary hues and low contrast values seen on numerous contemporary photographs and what few colour photographs exist for 1940 period vehicles. What really is bothering me with the instructions, the Upper Hull above the Plimsoll Line and Superstructure, they've got it a Light Grey, Vallejo 907, Tamiya XF14 and Humbrol 147 with an addition of Model Master 1732, something I've never used, however, I wont be using this Light Grey, I really do feel a lot of Builders will be quite annoyed at the paint instructions, but like you Jamie, you'll probably throw them out altogether, which I really am now considering doing, seriously!

Deep Bronze Green is mixed by 8pts XF5 + 5pts XF62 = Old dark colour. You need a satin varnish over this for the depth of colour. When airbrushing be certain to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: Items-81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077. I never quite understand these complaints. But I'm not going to be one of those people who trot out "never had a problem" because that really annoys me and it's not helpful. So I will try to give some pointers. Just keep in mind that without being able to watch how someone uses a product, I may overlook some error which I haven't thought of. I just realized I have a bottle of GSI's Mr Color 361 RAF Dark Green (WW2) number from their RAF Color Set 2. I'll add a swatch of that one tomorrow when I have some time. I also have some related Humbrol enamel swatches I can throw in as well (and no, Humbrol 30 Dark Green is not close at all. Oddly, it still looks good when used on early-war RAF fighters though. But maybe it's just me). In the 1980's, U.S. military developed new general-purpose vehicles which were intended to be used for a wide variety of military duties. Depending on the body type and fitted equipment, it could perform a wide range of roles. Of those different variants, the armament carrier type was one of the most numerous. Fitted with powerful armament such as an Mk.19 grenade launcher and M60 machine gun on a ring mount, they are used to guard units and important facilities in difficult conditions including the 1991 Gulf War, being vital for U.S. military activities. The kit features detailed suspension and realistic rubber tires. ?Included are a driver and gunner figures as well as 4 kinds of markings to depict a vehicle seen during the Gulf War.As a follow-up to the discussion threas Modeldad started earlier today regarding Tamiya's XF-81 RAF Dark Green 2, here are some comparisons I made using recently painted-out color swatches. The swatches were visually compared - very unscientifically, mind - to the Dark Green reference swatch in my copy of British Aviation Colours of World War Two. All comparisons and photos were taken indoors under "full-spectrum" incandescent bulbs, and the pics were shot with my iPad. So this is all very ad hoc, and no comparisons were made properly using daylight or a colorimiter. So with that gain of salt taken, here we are. The China Stations scheme is a much-repeated myth. It was white hull and Foreign Stations Grey (Admiralty Pattern 507C upperworks), not white and buff. Not bad, imho. Certainly much closer than the others. The XF61 is much darker than the XF81, but still has a yellow-green (ie: "olive") cast to it, so it darkens the mixture enough without drastically altering the hue or chroma.

Items 81521 and 81021 (Tamiya X-21 Flat Base) can be used as a flattening agent on Tamiya Gloss bottle paints. Simply add any X-gloss color then add flat base. Mixing ratio: 1:1 AddThis sets this geolocation cookie to help understand the location of users who share the information.The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish. The resulting colour is slightly less rich than a sample matched to an original motorcycle part and slightly less brown than on a steel helmet in original colour, so a good average.
