Reliable Lacquer for Historical Builds

The Tamiya 82157 - LP-57 Red Brown 2 comes in a 10ml bottle and delivers a classic red brown shade tailored to scale armour and vehicle work. Its tone is a good match for projects seeking a WWII German style finish or similar schemes.

Sturdy Coating Performance

Tamiya lacquers are designed to form a resilient layer that acts as an effective basecoat for subsequent paints. The film resists many enamel applications and holds up well during handling. Drying is comparatively quick to keep build time moving.

Works Well with Airbrush and Brush

LP-57 flows evenly whether sprayed or applied by brush, offering strong coverage on larger panels and controlled opacity for fine details. That makes it a handy bottle to keep in your paint box.

Practical Tips

Note that lacquer tones may not exactly match Tamiya acrylics or aeros of the same name. Using the recommended lacquer thinner will help you achieve smoother atomisation and the intended finish.

Yes, apply over a compatible primer suitable for lacquer. A light, even primer layer helps the lacquer adhere and shows true colour.
Work in a well ventilated area and use appropriate respiratory protection when spraying lacquer paints to avoid inhaling fumes.
Thin slightly with lacquer thinner and apply several thin passes rather than a single heavy coat to avoid pooling and maintain crisp detail.
