Description
Tamiya X-9 Brown 10 ml – gloss acrylic paint for model kits
Tamiya X-9 Brown 10 ml features a well-defined glossy brown tone that gives visible parts an elegant, even appearance.
It stands out on interiors and details where you want a finish with presence and clear definition under direct light.
The Tamiya X-9 Brown 10 ml reference belongs to the X series (gloss finish) designed for scale modelling on styrene plastic, resin and wood; its controlled viscosity promotes smooth self-levelling and even coverage while preserving rivets, panel lines and fine details, and allows you to work in thin layers with both brush and airbrush, with drying times suitable for masking and applying decals safely.
Use on models and common scales
In automotive models at 1/24 scale it provides a clean, consistent finish on dashboards, panels and interior parts; on military vehicles at 1/35 scale it is practical for tools, accessories and varnished surfaces; in aircraft at 1/48–1/72 it performs reliably on cockpit areas and internal components that require controlled gloss and an even basecoat.
Thinning, airbrushing and brushwork
For airbrushing, start with a 1:1 ratio with Tamiya X-20A and adjust according to nozzle size and pressure (approx. 12–18 PSI), applying short passes to avoid build-up in panel lines; for brushwork, apply without overworking the area and, if you wish, add a small amount of retarder to improve levelling; between coats, allow the solvents to evaporate to protect the surface detail of the model.
Surface preparation and priming
To get the best performance from Tamiya X-9 Brown 10 ml you need a proper base: wash the parts to remove release agents, dry-fit, clean up joints and apply an even primer; white primer enhances the perceived gloss, while grey primer provides a neutral, controlled base; a light micro-sanding afterwards improves adhesion and smoothness.
Finishes, varnishes and compatibility
Once Tamiya X-9 Brown 10 ml has fully cured, you can seal it with varnish depending on the final look you want: gloss to integrate decals, satin for surfaces with moderate sheen, or matt for interiors with reduced reflections; explore our range of paints and varnishes for model kits to choose the best option; after varnishing, apply washes, panel lining and weathering effects, allowing for proper curing times to avoid lifting the paint.
Practical modelling tips
- Thin, successive coats: prioritise several light passes to avoid losing surface detail.
- Safe masking: use quality masking tape, seal the edges with a cotton swab and peel it back diagonally once the paint is touch-dry.
- Test first: fine-tune viscosity, pressure and distance on a spare piece before moving to the actual model.
- Full curing: let the paint fully cure before handling, adding decals or applying effects.
