Accurate JGSDF Green for Detailed Scale Work

Tamiya 82164 Olive Drab (JGSDF) Lacquer Paint is supplied in a 10ml bottle and is tailored for modellers recreating Japanese ground forces colours. It handles well for precision brushwork and scales smoothly through an airbrush to give even coats and authentic finish.

Why Tamiya Lacquers Are Favoured

Tamiya lacquers form a resilient coating that acts as an excellent base for subsequent weathering and topcoats. Their fast drying time helps keep build sessions moving. Be aware lacquer shades may not exactly match Tamiya acrylics and sprays, so test colour combos. Best practice is to use Tamiya lacquer thinner for mixing and cleanup.

How should I prepare plastic parts before using Tamiya 82164?

Clean parts with mild detergent or isopropyl alcohol to remove mould release and oils, then sand lightly and apply primer for best adhesion and colour consistency.

What thinning ratio works for airbrushing?

Thinning needs vary by airbrush and nozzle. A common starting point is around 10-30% Tamiya lacquer thinner by volume, then adjust until you achieve a smooth spray pattern.

Is this lacquer compatible with primers and clear coats?

Yes. Use compatible lacquer primers and lacquer clear coats for the most durable finish. Mixing lacquer with non-compatible topcoats can cause lifting or wrinkling.

Any tips for achieving a smooth brush finish?

Use a high-quality synthetic brush, thin the paint slightly with lacquer thinner, apply several thin coats rather than one thick coat, and sand lightly between coats if needed.
