XF23 Light Blue Color is a cool, slightly pastel blue, ideal for replicating authentic colors of aircraft, armament components, equipment parts, or details on figures and vehicles. This shade is primarily used for painting Allied aircraft of World War II and aviation or naval units from the Cold War era or modern times. Light Blue is also perfect as a base for mixing other tones, allowing for realistic shading and worn material effects.

• Capacity: 10 ml – ideal for painting both small details and larger surfaces on models in 1/72, 1/48, 1/35, 1/24 and other scales.
• Paint type: Solvent-based acrylic – applies perfectly by brush (for details) and airbrush (on large surfaces).
• Manufacturer: Tamiya – a world leader in the production of acrylic model paints and modeling chemicals.
• Usage recommendations: The paint should be thinned, preferably with original Tamiya X-20A thinner (81040). Adding a few drops of Tamiya Retarder (87114) prevents overly fast drying when painting with a brush.
• Finish: Semi-matte effect, providing a realistic look to model surfaces.
• Durability and resistance: Once fully dry, the coating is resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage.
• Non-toxic, safe for users – also suitable for younger modelers under supervision.

Paint application difficulty level: 1/5 – the paint is intended for both beginners and advanced modelers, as it applies easily and dries quickly.

We especially recommend this product to all modelers who value a perfect reproduction of historical colors in model airplanes, military vehicles, and dioramas. An excellent choice for hobbyists seeking reliable and versatile painting solutions in modeling.
