Tamiya 86501 AS-1 Dark Green Scale Aircraft Spray 100ml  [86501]

Authentic IJN Colour in a Tamiya AS-1 Spray

Tamiya 86501 AS-1 Dark Green (IJN) is a synthetic lacquer spray aimed at modellers seeking accurate wartime naval tones. The formulation delivers a fine spray pattern suited to the detailing demands of 1/32 and 1/48 scale builds.

Why Modellers Use AS-1 Dark Green

This shade is selected to match historical Japanese naval finishes, giving a faithful appearance on wings and fuselages. The 100ml can is large enough for several small projects and produces consistent, even coverage when applied properly.

Practical Application Advice

• Start with a clean, dry surface to avoid contamination in the finish.
• Warm the can and shake thoroughly before use to stabilise the lacquer.
• Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy pass to keep detail crisp.
• Allow full flash time between coats to prevent orange peel and runs.
