Historical Application

The XF70 Dark Green 2 color was developed as an exact match of the authentic shade used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It works perfectly for replicating paint schemes of armored vehicles, trucks, aircraft, and ground artillery of the Japanese army. This shade was commonly used on tanks such as the Chi-Ha, Chi-Nu, armored personnel carriers, and combat support vehicles used between 1937 and 1945, especially during the Pacific campaign.

Technology and Product Advantages

Tamiya XF70 is a synthetic enamel characterized by excellent adhesion, durability, and even coverage. Ideal for hand brushing as well as airbrushing after proper thinning. Once dry, it leaves a matte finish, faithfully recreating the coatings typical of military vehicles. The paint is resistant to abrasion and modeling agents such as washes or pigments, enabling further weathering effects on your model. Tamiya enamels have a slower drying time compared to acrylics, allowing for more precise shading and corrections during work.

Who is it recommended for?

This product is recommended for both experienced modelers and intermediate hobbyists who value authenticity and the highest quality finish. Thanks to its versatility, the paint can be used in various model scales—from the popular 1/35, through 1/48, to 1/72. The usage difficulty is rated at 2/5, making it easy to apply even for those just starting their modeling adventure.
