Historical IJN Gray Shade for Naval Kits

The Tamiya 82113 - LP-13 IJN Gray (Sasebo Arsenal) lacquer reproduces the subdued grey tones used on Imperial Navy vessels and comes in a 10ml bottle tailored for hobby use. Its gloss finish helps emphasise panel lines and metallic details when applied correctly.

Flexible Use Across Modelling Techniques

Formulated for both broad coverage and precise brushwork, this lacquer gives a uniform finish that holds up during handling and later weathering steps. It is an excellent choice as a base coat under enamel or weathering products.

Practical Advice for Best Results

Thin with a compatible lacquer thinner to control flow and avoid orange peel when spraying. Ensure parts are clean and primed where necessary to get the most consistent coverage from the 10ml bottle.

Does this paint require a primer on plastic kits?

While not always mandatory, a light primer helps achieve an even colour and better adhesion, especially on glossy or smooth plastic parts.

Can I topcoat with acrylic varnish?

Acrylic varnish may be used after the lacquer has fully cured, but compatibility tests on scrap pieces are recommended to avoid any adverse reaction.

How do I avoid brush marks when touching up?

Thin the paint appropriately and apply several thin layers rather than one heavy pass; use a fine, high-quality brush for small touch ups.

Is ventilation necessary during spraying?

Yes, use adequate ventilation and suitable respiratory protection when spraying lacquers to reduce inhalation of solvent fumes and ensure a safer workspace.
