Flat Earth Lacquer for Accurate Finishes

Tamiya's LP-74 Flat Earth lacquer offers modellers a true-to-scheme matte earth shade for kit builds and scenic accents. The 10ml bottle is ideal for detailing and small panels, producing consistent tones and a hard surface when dry. Its lacquer formulation is commonly used as a resilient base under enamel topcoats.

Reliable Cure and Surface Strength

The paint dries relatively quickly and forms a durable membrane that resists wear during handling and assembly. It performs well with airbrush application as well as brush techniques on small areas. Thin with a lacquer thinner to match your spray setup and nozzle size.

Variation Between Paint Types

Be aware that the lacquer version can look different from Tamiya acrylics or aerosol sprays labelled with the same name. These variations may be useful when layering finishes, but confirm colour on a test piece if you need an exact match.

Yes, once properly cured the lacquer holds up well to careful masking and decal setting, but allow full cure time to avoid lifting the paint when removing masks.
Mixing lacquers is commonly done to adjust tone. Use compatible lacquers only and mix small test batches to confirm colour and drying behaviour before large scale changes.
Clean brushes with a suitable solvent for lacquer paints right after use, then follow with soap and water for a final wash to remove residue and prolong brush life.
