Hi Tony,

Thanks for the comments.

Tamiya X-19 is Clear Smoke. It is one of thier translucent colours, they do a blue, an orange and a red for instance, useful for such things as vehicle light fittings and the 'smoke' is very usefull for playing around with weathering and metallic effects. Translucent because of course you can see through the paint quite clearly when it has dried and why Tamiya refer to it as Clear Smoke.

I have used it straight from the bottle and mixed with thinners depending on how strong an effect I am after.
