Apply Tamiya 82168 Clear Blue for Crisp Transparent Tones

Tamiya 82168 Clear Blue provides a clear, coloured lacquer ideal for adding depth to canopies, lenses, and panels on scale builds. The 10ml bottle is handy for touchups or trial runs while delivering smooth, even layers.

Why Model Builders Choose This Lacquer

This lacquer is prized for quick tack-free drying and a resilient surface film that reduces wear. Its membrane-like finish makes it compatible as a base under enamels or for use as a coloured clear coat.

Tips for Getting a Clean Finish

  • Airbrushing: Thin with the correct lacquer thinner and maintain consistent passes to avoid pooling on edges.
  • Detail Work: A fine sable brush works well for trim and small clear sections where control is essential.
  • Mixing Notes: Expect a slightly different hue than acrylics; use test panels to confirm layering effects with other Tamiya paints.
Drying is fast compared to many hobby paints; you can normally handle light sanding and recoating within an hour depending on humidity and thickness of coats.
Yes, the clear blue lacquer works well on transparent parts, but apply thin, even layers to avoid clouding and test first on spare clear plastic.
Do not use improvised solvents; stick to recommended lacquer thinners to avoid poor flow or surface defects.
Clean parts with a mild detergent, remove oils and dust, and use a light primer if the plastic is very smooth for improved adhesion.
