Studio Khaki Lacquer for Scale Models

Tamiya 82173 LP-73 Khaki Lacquer Paint in a 10ml bottle is designed to add authentic khaki shades to uniforms, canvas and equipment on scale builds. The lacquer formulation handles fine brushwork and broader airbrushed panels with good coverage.

Why Modellers Choose Lacquer

These lacquers offer consistent pigment and form a tough layer that makes an effective basecoat for subsequent layers, including enamels. The relatively quick drying time helps you progress through multi-stage paint jobs.

Application Advice

Thin with the recommended lacquer thinner for best spray performance and test on scrap to check colour, since lacquer hues can differ from Tamiya acrylics or spray cans with similar names.

Yes, when thinned correctly LP-73 sprays smoothly for fine figure work; use gentle pressure and light passes to avoid overwork.
Start with around 20-30 percent lacquer thinner and adjust by feel; different airbrushes and nozzle sizes may need slightly different thinning.
Yes, once fully dry you can mask and paint over safely, but use low-tack masking where possible to protect the lacquer finish.
Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, ventilated spot away from direct heat to preserve the lacquer and prevent thickening.
