LP-79 Flat Red from Tamiya 82179 - Matte Lacquer for Model Work

Tamiya LP-79 Flat Red lacquer delivers a dependable flat red finish in a 10ml container. It is suitable for airbrushing larger surfaces and finer brush detailing, giving a smooth, even matte tone for scale models.

Designed for Hobby Applications

The Tamiya LP-79 Flat Red is intended for modellers seeking a hard-wearing lacquer for kit builds and figures. Its durable film makes it effective as a basecoat and helps protect the finish when using enamel topcoats after full cure.

Efficient Drying and Thinning

With a relatively quick drying time, LP-79 keeps projects moving between coats. A lacquer-specific thinner should be used to modify viscosity for airbrush work or fine brush control.

Shade and Consistency

Lacquer colours may not exactly match acrylic or spray counterparts, but LP-79 maintains a steady flat red and good pigment strength to help models look professionally finished.

Is LP-79 suitable for painting figures and small parts?

Yes, the 10ml size is handy for small parts and figures. Thin slightly for brush work to avoid obscuring fine detail and test on a spare piece first.

Can I expect the same colour from lacquers as from Tamiya sprays?

Not always. Lacquer formulations can show a different hue and finish than spray or acrylic lines, so compare samples before committing to a full coat.
