Reviews : Tamiya Acrylic Mini XF57 Buff 1/3 oz

Nice sandy beigeish colored acrylic paint. Good for canvas, off white or sandy applications. I used if for some soldiers’ spats. The smaller pots aren’t as good of a value as the ¾ oz., but they are still worth it if you’re not planning on using it a lot (like if you're only using it for six pairs of boot covers). 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. Although, I just used it straight out of the pot considering it was for such a small area, and I had great results. 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.

This Tamiya 81757 mini is a good size for small areas on different models. Hard color to find. $2 price is good to go. Will be getting more minis after using this one. Very versatile color. Can be close match for sand colors. Recommend.

great for airbrushing this is my goto paint if you see tamiyas name on it its good stuff works best with lacquer thinner try mr leveling thinner for best results
