Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic XF17 Sea Blue 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.

Tamiya paint is my #1 choice for my models. I'm currently building Trumpeter 1/200 USS Arizona (Christmas present) and I'm going with the Sea Blue Measure that new research has shown she was painted just before the Dec 7th attack. I plan to use all Tamiya for this build.

This is the standard Tamiya acrylic stuff. No issues if you are used to Tamiya acrylic. This is a good color for WWII pacific planes like Hellcats and Corsairs if you mix with a little XF8 and XF2.

High quality paint. This blue is very very very Dark. You might to lighten it by mixing with some white. I guess it is good for US NAVY ww2 and korea planes and Royal Navy uniforms.

I mixed this paint with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and it sprayed flawlessly and covers well. When mixed with XF8 this is perfect for Hellcats and Corsairs.

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.

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

This is my favorite color of the Tamiya paints. Very dark blue that I plan to get a lot of use out of.

This great for certain apps. When you need a medium blue, this is your go to color.

Covers well and applies easily. I like the water wash-up over the enamals.

Smooth paint and dries quickly. Is a nice blue for water and naval items.

smooth paint great for air brushing. Quick drying no issue with it at all
