Application and Properties

• The RLM Grey (XF22) shade matches the authentic RLM color used by the Luftwaffe during World War II (1939-1945).
• Recommended primarily for painting German aircraft models (e.g., Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190) in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32 scales, as well as military vehicles and other elements requiring neutral German shades of grey.
• The acrylic formula allows for easy application with both a brush and an airbrush.
• The paint requires Tamiya X-20A (81040) dedicated thinner – this ensures the perfect consistency and prevents clogging the airbrush nozzle.
• Adding a few drops of Tamiya Retarder (87114) extends drying time, facilitates painting larger surfaces, and prevents streaks.
• Fast-drying paint, matte finish after drying, resistant to abrasion and water.
• High pigmentation ensures excellent coverage even with a thin layer, making it easy to reproduce historical details accurately.
