Tamiya 82114 LP-14 IJN Gray Paint Introduction

Tamiya 82114 LP-14 IJN Gray (Maizuru Arsenal) lacquer recreates the subdued gray tones applied to Imperial Japanese Navy vessels such as Shimakaze and Kagero, presenting a matte-like finish for scale accuracy. The 10ml bottle is aimed at modellers needing precise colour matches and small quantity use.

Application and Finish

Designed for both airbrush and brush work, this lacquer provides uniform coverage and consistent shading across small parts. Its tough surface makes it a reliable basecoat that plays well with enamel-based weathering and topcoats.

Working Advice

Benefits include a relatively rapid dry time that keeps workflow moving on multi-stage builds. For smooth spraying and the correct flow, use a lacquer thinner recommended for Tamiya lacquers to adjust viscosity.

Can I use this over primer?

Yes. Applying over a suitable primer improves adhesion and gives a more even final colour on plastic and resin surfaces.

Is it safe to combine with enamel weathering products?

The lacquer finish provides a stable base for many enamel weathering techniques, but test compatibility in a small area first to ensure desired effects.

What thinner ratio should I use for airbrushing?

Thinning ratios vary by airbrush and nozzle size; start with a light dilution and adjust until you achieve smooth atomisation and consistent coverage.

Does the 10ml size keep well after opening?

Keep the bottle tightly sealed and store in a cool, ventilated place to maintain paint quality; small volumes help reduce waste once opened.

Any special cleanup recommendations?

Clean airbrushes and brushes with an appropriate lacquer solvent immediately after use to prevent clogging and preserve tool life.
