Tamiya 82132 LP-32 Light Gray (IJN) Lacquer Paint No.32 - Scale Grey  [82132]

How to Use Tamiya 82132 Light Gray on Your Models

Tamiya 82132 Light Gray is supplied in a compact 10ml bottle and is suitable for modelmakers who want uniform coverage from airbrush work and control for brush-applied highlights. The shade matches common IJN grey tones and complements darker paints like LP-31 Dark Green 2 (IJN).

Why Lacquer Works Well

The Tamiya lacquer formula builds a resilient film that can serve as a durable basecoat beneath enamels. Its rapid surface drying helps maintain progress on builds, and a specific lacquer thinner is recommended to get the right spray viscosity.

Application Pointers

• Spray large flat areas with an airbrush for a consistent finish.
• Reserve a fine brush for panel lines and small details to retain precision.
• Adjust paint flow with the dedicated thinner and practice on a sprue before painting the main project.

Notes on Shade Differences

Colours from the lacquer range may not be identical to Tamiya acrylics or aerosols bearing the same name. It is wise to trial the paint on a scrap surface before committing to a full coat.
