Accurate Khaki Lacquer for Scale Accuracy

Tamiya 82173 LP-73 Khaki Lacquer Paint 10ml suits modellers aiming for period-accurate khaki finishes on figures and accessories. The lacquer formula supports both brush detailing and controlled airbrush application when prepared correctly.

Finish and Durability

This lacquer delivers consistent pigment and creates a durable film that functions as a stable basecoat, working well beneath enamel topcoats. Drying times are reasonably quick, helping to keep build schedules moving.

Brush and Airbrush Tips

Use Tamiya lacquer thinner to obtain the right spray viscosity and apply several light passes to avoid runs. Remember that lacquer colours can differ slightly from Tamiya acrylics and spray cans of the same name.

It will adhere to clean, smooth plastic but applying a dedicated primer gives a more reliable base and improves durability.
You can blend small amounts of lacquer paints to adjust tone, but mix progressively and test samples since small changes affect final shade significantly.
Surface drying is quick, but allow adequate cure time before handling or applying decals; full hardness can take longer depending on layer thickness.
Apply small swatches of both lacquer and acrylic on the same substrate and view under the light you plan to use for display to judge colour differences accurately.
