About product

Tamiya XF-50 Field Blue (Enamel), 10 ml

A modeling paint, not a kit. It is a synthetic Tamiya enamel (solvent-based) paint from the XF line, that is a matte one — the letters XF in the Tamiya designation mean a matte surface. The bottle holds 10 ml. Field Blue is a subdued blue-gray shade; the manufacturer gives it as suitable for rendering Luftwaffe uniforms.

Careful not to confuse them: Tamiya offers the same shade numbers (XF-50 among them) in the acrylic and the enamel line alongside each other. This paint is an enamel — it is thinned with X-20 thinner (without the letter A). The acrylic version of the same number is thinned with X-20A. The thinners are not interchangeable; the wrong thinner will ruin the paint.

Use

  • Luftwaffe uniforms — a recommendation straight from the manufacturer; typically figures of air personnel and crews.
  • Blue-gray areas and accessories where a subdued, unsaturated blue tone with no sheen is needed.
  • A base and undercoat for subsequent shading, highlighting and drybrushing on figures.
  • By airbrush and by brush. For spraying, the manufacturer gives 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint.
  • Apply a gloss clear intermediate coat under decals — straight onto a matte surface a decal shows up with a white veil (silvering). Choose a clear coat compatible with enamels; aggressive lacquer (cellulose) clear coats are not recommended over enamel.

Who it is for

For modelers of figures and of aircraft who need a reliable matte blue-gray with the coverage and durability typical of enamels. Enamel paints close up more slowly, which comes in handy when painting with a brush — they can be worked out longer and handle the small details of uniforms better.

Safety: flammable. It irritates the airways — use only in well-ventilated spaces and use respiratory protection (a respirator) when spraying. Keep out of the reach of children. Protect from open flame and sources of ignition.

FAQ

It is an enamel (synthetic, solvent-based) paint and is thinned with Tamiya X-20 enamel thinner. Do not confuse it with the acrylic version of the XF-50 shade, which Tamiya offers alongside it and which is thinned with X-20A.

The manufacturer gives it as suitable for rendering Luftwaffe uniforms. Generally it is a subdued blue-gray that can be used anywhere you need an unsaturated matte blue tone — on figures and as an undercoat for further shading.

Yes. The XF designation on Tamiya paints means a matte shade. If you need a gloss surface, or you are about to apply decals, coat the area with a gloss clear — otherwise a white veil will form under the decal.

Use the X-20 enamel thinner. For spraying enamels the manufacturer gives a ratio of roughly 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint; you fine-tune the ratio according to pressure and nozzle. For a brush the paint can be used unthinned.
