Tamiya 82118 LP-18 Dull Red Lacquer for Hobby Finishes

The Tamiya 82118 LP-18 Dull Red lacquer presents a classic, subdued red ideal for maritime and vintage subjects. Packed in a 10ml bottle, it works well for detailed hand work or controlled airbrushing sessions, giving modellers a dependable tone for scale projects.

Suitable for Large Areas and Fine Details

Whether you are laying down primer colour across hulls or doing delicate weathering on small parts, this lacquer provides steady coverage and adhesion. It dries to a hard film that tolerates subsequent enamel layers and supports layered painting techniques.

Colour Notes and Thinning

Expect minor differences compared with Tamiya acrylics or aerosols of the same name; always trial on a scrap piece. Use a lacquer specific thinner to achieve smooth atomisation and the finish you want.

Dilute with lacquer thinner until you reach a syrupy consistency suitable for your airbrush. Start around 10-20% thinner and adjust by testing spray pattern and flow.
Yes, LP-18 is formulated for modelling plastics, but prime first if your kit has glossy or unusual surfaces. Allow proper drying between coats to prevent softening.
Keep the bottle tightly sealed, store upright in a cool ventilated area away from direct heat, and use within a reasonable period to avoid thickening or skin formation.
