About product

Tamiya XF-75 IJN Gray, a matte acrylic paint, 10 ml

This is a modeling paint, not a kit. XF-75 is a Tamiya acrylic (water-thinnable) paint in a 10 ml bottle. At Tamiya the letters XF denote the matte range, while the X range is gloss, so this shade dries to a matte finish.

What the shade represents, and a warning about confusion

IJN stands for the Imperial Japanese Navy. XF-75 is the naval gray of Japanese warships of the Second World War, that is a shade for the hulls and superstructures of ships according to the Kure arsenal (which produced, among other things, the largest Japanese battleships). It is not an aircraft color. Do not confuse it with the XF-12 J.N. Grey shade, which is used on the undersurfaces of Japanese naval aircraft; that is a different color for a different purpose. The Japanese arsenals also mixed their grays slightly differently, which is why Tamiya offers the naval gray as a separate shade.

Use and thinning

  • Suitable for a brush and an airbrush alike. It is thinned with X-20A acrylic thinner, or with water (the thinner gives better flow and adhesion).
  • Beware of confusing the thinners: Tamiya also lists the same shade numbers in the enamel (solvent-based) range, which is produced alongside. The enamel is thinned with X-20, without the letter A. The thinners are not interchangeable; always check which range you are holding.
  • Stir the bottle thoroughly before use, because the pigment settles to the bottom.
  • A matte surface is an ideal base for washes and patina. Under decals, apply a gloss varnish locally that is compatible with acrylic.

Who it is for

Above all for builders of models of Japanese warships and their accessories (photo-etched parts, railings, armament), where a period naval gray is needed. It also finds use wherever a modeler is looking for a neutral darker gray for bases, figures or small accessories.

Safety: keep out of reach of children. When spraying with an airbrush, work in a ventilated space and use protection for your airways. Close the bottle carefully after use so that the paint does not dry out.

FAQ

No. XF-75 is the naval gray of the Imperial Japanese Navy, for the hulls and superstructures of warships. The color of the undersurfaces of Japanese naval aircraft is a different shade, XF-12 J.N. Grey.

The Tamiya acrylic range, and therefore XF-75 in acrylic, is thinned with X-20A. The enamel range is thinned with X-20 without the letter A, and the thinners are not interchangeable.

Matte. At Tamiya the XF designation always means the matte range; gloss shades carry the designation X.

Yes, Tamiya acrylic can be applied with a brush and with an airbrush. Stir the paint thoroughly before use, because the pigment settles to the bottom.
