Authentic Colour for Armour Modelling

Here is the Tamiya 82157 - LP-57 Red Brown 2 in a 10ml pot, offering a historically tuned red brown ideal for scale armour and vehicle detailing. The tint pairs well with period colour schemes and weathering layers.

Resilient Basecoat

Tamiya lacquer paints cure to form a strong surface layer that supports additional finishes and resists common solvents used in hobby workflows. Their quick set time helps reduce build delays while preserving detail.

Easy to Apply

LP-57 performs reliably with airbrush setups and brush work, giving even coverage and stable colour. It is a practical choice whether you are laying down a basecoat or touching up fine components.

Matching and Preparation

Keep in mind lacquer shades can differ from equivalent acrylic or spray formulations. For consistent results, use the brand's lacquer thinner and trial on a spare sprue to dial in viscosity and tone.

Is LP-57 compatible with clear coats?

Yes, once fully cured, lacquer layers accept clear coats. Apply clear in light passes to avoid disturbing the base layer and to achieve a uniform gloss or matte finish.

What precautions should I take when spraying?

Use adequate ventilation and a suitable respirator. Thin paint to the correct viscosity for your airbrush and test spray on scrap material to set pressure and distance.

Can this be used for weathering effects?

Yes, LP-57 makes a good base for washes and drybrushing. Seal it properly first if you intend to use aggressive solvents or heavy mechanical weathering techniques.
