Hi, can someone tell me which tamiya acrylic paints he use for his X-wing :confused
Paint number will work for me.
Any help will be appreciated.

It is a piece of artwork, not a paint-by-number!

Use what looks best to YOU!

Personally, I used Humbrol paints on my own though...

I myself used a mix of Floquils, Pollyscale and Tamiya's, so its all a case of going with what YOU think looks right.
Robs Humbrol paints will have great hues, ive not used Humbrol for a while, but do fancy getting back to them as there a bit more venerable than some of the Tamiyas i depend on, its just whether you mind using Enamels, there more airbrush friendly, but can have other annoying side effects lol, the Tamiya acrylics, are a safer bet though!

I use Different paints and not really a specific one. Caboose red is what I use on the X-Wings but that is not tamiya. For the fuselage I have used Testors Camo grey but now I use black primer with white on top to give it the off white color. I really eye ball most things and mix paint to get what I consider to be close.
