Tamiya's 82136 Dark Ghost Gray Lacquer Paint is supplied in a 10ml bottle and suits modellers seeking a natural, scale-accurate tone. It handles well with an airbrush and still performs for careful brushwork on small parts.
The lacquer's body allows you to block in broad areas then switch to thinner passes for panel lines and details. Once cured the film resists light abrasion, helping finishes last through handling and display.
Quick tack and drying mean you can lay down multiple coats or build weathering layers without long pauses. That drying behaviour is useful when tackling several subassemblies at once.
Expect slight hue differences compared with Tamiya acrylics and spray cans, but lacquers keep consistent pigmentation. Use a lacquer-specific thinner for the smoothest spray finish and to avoid spluttering.
