Get Accurate Luftwaffe Shades with Tamiya AS-5 Light Blue

Tamiya AS-5 Light Blue (Luftwaffe) spray is produced for enthusiasts seeking period-correct colour on scale aircraft. This synthetic lacquer produces the lighter blue tones typical of Luftwaffe undersides and is ideal for 1/32 and 1/48 kits.

Accurate Hue and Tone

The formulation of Tamiya AS-5 Light Blue aims to mimic the subtle tonal range seen on wartime aircraft, helping modellers achieve a convincing appearance. The 100ml aerosol gives good coverage for multiple spraying sessions.

Smooth Aerosol Finish

The spray delivers a controlled mist for even layers, helping to avoid runs and orange peel when applied in thin passes. It is forgiving for hobbyists refining their spray technique.

Suitable for Various Modelling Tasks

While optimised for 1/32 and 1/48 scale aircraft, this shade is also handy for other small scale projects that need a comparable blue. It is useful for base coats, touch ups, and subtle weathering work.

This product is an aerosol lacquer and is not intended for direct airbrush use, though you can buy compatible lacquer paints for brushing or airbrushing with proper thinning.
Yes, the light blue base works well under filters and subtle washes to build realistic weathering on fuselage undersides.
Avoid spraying directly over decals without a protective clear coat; apply a thin gloss coat first to protect the decal and help the paint flow evenly.
Good surface prep is essential; clean, degrease and lightly sand where needed to ensure the lacquer bonds and the finish is smooth.
