X-28 Park Green (Enamel)

Tamiya X-28 Park Green (Enamel) — an opaque gloss green, 10 ml

A paint from the Tamiya enamel (synthetic, solvent-based) line in a 10 ml bottle. The X line = a gloss surface. X-28 Park Green is a rich, lively park green with full covering power — unlike the transparent shades of the Clear type, this shade really does hide the surface underneath.

What it is and what it is not

It IS: an ordinary opaque gloss green paint for larger areas and for details. It is NOT: a transparent tinting coat, nor a military khaki or olive green — Park Green is a civil, clean and bright green tone, not a camouflage shade. Take care as well not to confuse it with the acrylic version of the same number X-28, which Tamiya makes alongside it. This item is an ENAMEL: it is thinned with the X-20 thinner (the enamel one, without the A), not with the acrylic X-20A.

Use

• Civil machinery in green paint — tractors, utility and municipal vehicles.
• Garden and park machines, small equipment, technical accessories.
• Gloss body and cover surfaces where a lively green tone is wanted.
• Details and accessories of dioramas — benches, railings, containers, fittings.
• A base under a matte clear coat if you need to flatten the finish.

Thinning and application

Suitable for airbrush and brush. For spraying, thin it with Tamiya X-20 thinner. Stir the bottle thoroughly before use so that the pigment is evenly dispersed. Enamel paint dries more slowly than acrylic, which is an advantage for a smooth, self-leveling surface when brushing — do not try to smooth a coat that is already setting. For a rich gloss, apply several thin coats rather than one heavy one.

Who it is for

For modelers of civil and utility machinery, builders of dioramas and anyone who needs a good gloss green in a small, practical 10 ml package. Even a beginner will manage it.
