Refine Your Scale Work with Tamiya LP-42 Mica Red

The LP-42 Mica Red Lacquer delivers a lustrous metallic red that enhances scale realism and depth. In a handy 10ml bottle, this lacquer is compatible with airbrush and hand painting techniques preferred by hobbyists.

Wide Applicability for Model Builders

LP-42 is suitable for many modelling subjects and creates a strong membrane useful as a basecoat. It copes well with further paint layers and helps retain a clean, even surface across multiple coats.

True-to-Tone Coverage

The paint offers steady colour and mica shimmer that accentuates small details and broader surfaces alike, resulting in a convincing metallic appearance.

Practical Tips for Use

Thin using Tamiya lacquer thinner to reach the right flow for your technique and trial a sample area since lacquer shades can differ from acrylic colours and spray finishes.

Yes, LP-42 can be overcoated with compatible clear lacquers to protect the finish and adjust gloss level. Always confirm compatibility on a test piece first.
Clean and degrease parts, and lightly scuff smooth plastics to promote adhesion. Proper preparation improves final appearance and longevity.
Keep bottles sealed and stored upright in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve the lacquer's properties.
