Tamiya Acrylic Paint Mini XF-83 RAF Medium Sea Grey 2

Undersides matter as much as the topside pattern, and XF-83 is the pale, cool grey RAF aircraft wore beneath — a soft matt tone that finishes British camouflage schemes properly, especially on later-war builds.

Best for

• Undersides on RAF wartime aircraft, particularly later-war schemes
• Quiet, subtle coverage that doesn't fight for attention against the upper camouflage

Paint the underside right and the whole model reads as authentic from every angle, not just from above.

Genuine Tamiya acrylic, 10ml jar. Pair it with RAF Dark Green 2 and Ocean Grey 2 up top, and a bottle of X-20A thinner for clean coverage.
