Tamiya XF60 Dark Yellow (80360) Enamel Paint 10ml

Tamiya XF60 Dark Yellow (80360) is a high-quality 10 ml enamel paint, specially developed by the renowned Japanese company Tamiya. This product belongs to the model paints – enamels category, dedicated to modelers who value precision, durability, and depth of color effect. Tamiya enamel paints are distinguished by exceptional coverage, durability, and excellent adhesion to both plastic and metal surfaces.

XF60 Dark Yellow is a shade often used to reproduce the original colors of Third Reich armored vehicles, mainly during World War II. This color was officially introduced into use by the German army from February 1943, when the so-called "Dunkelgelb" began to be used as the base camouflage for vehicles – including tanks, armored personnel carriers, and self-propelled artillery. Proper use of XF60 allows for a realistic representation of German machines involved in battles such as Kursk, Normandy, and the fighting in Italy.

• Volume: 10 ml
• Color: XF60 Dark Yellow ("Dunkelgelb")
• Type: enamel (solvent-based paint)
• Application: brush or airbrush
• Strong coverage, satin finish

• Dedicated for plastic and metal models

The product is suitable for both beginner and advanced modelers who want to increase the realism of their World War II military projects. XF enamel paints have a longer drying time than acrylic paints, which allows for the use of advanced techniques such as blending, washes, or filters without the risk of errors setting too quickly. The high level of pigmentation ensures that even thin layers achieve a distinct, deep color—crucial for authentically recreating military equipment.

I recommend Tamiya XF60 Dark Yellow (80360) to all historical modeling enthusiasts, especially those focused on reconstructing German armored vehicles. The product stands out for its reliable quality and versatility—it works well for dioramas as well as for detailing smaller models. I rate the difficulty level of using this paint at 2/5—basic enamel handling skills are enough to achieve professional results.
