Authentic historic green with Tamiya 86517 AS-17 Dark Green

Tamiya 86517 AS-17 Dark Green IJN Spray Paint reproduces the darker green tones used on period military aircraft, offering modellers a reliable starting colour. It is suitable for the typical 1/32 and 1/48 scales where tone accuracy is important.

Designed for detailed aircraft modelling

The 100ml synthetic lacquer gives subtle shading without hiding fine surface features. It supports traditional finishing workflows like panel wash, drybrushing and light chipping.

Consistent spray for tidy builds

The aerosol offers fine atomisation for even coats that make masking and weathering easier. Work in thin layers and allow adequate flash time for best control over the finish.

Is this compatible with common primers?

Yes, it is compatible with most primers used for plastic models. Use a recommended primer and ensure it is fully dry before applying the lacquer.

How do I avoid mottling on curved surfaces?

Apply multiple light passes and keep the can moving to avoid over-wetting. Allow brief drying between passes to reduce pooling on curves.

Can I varnish over this lacquer?

Yes, after the lacquer has fully cured you can apply acrylic or lacquer clearcoats for gloss or matt effects. Check compatibility and dry times before layering.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Use in a well ventilated area or spray booth, wear a suitable respirator and avoid open flames. Follow the can safety instructions for storage and disposal.

Will the colour match photos of restored aircraft?

Colours can vary under different lighting and in photos; use reference images and test sprays to fine tune weathering and shading to match your desired look.
