Authentic Silver Finish with Tamiya AS-12

Tamiya AS-12 Bare-Metal Silver spray paint reproduces the subtle metallic tones found on real aircraft, suited to 1/32 and 1/48 scale builds. Each 100ml synthetic lacquer can lays down a fine film for straightforward smoothing and detailing.

Ideal for Detailed Scale Work

Whether restoring a vintage kit or building a modern prototype, AS-12 helps maintain crisp panel lines and consistent sheen. Hobbyists will find the coverage predictable when applied in controlled passes.

Best Practices for Spraying

  • Clean and prime parts to ensure the lacquer bonds well.
  • Vigorously shake the can until the mixing ball moves freely.
  • Use multiple thin passes rather than a single heavy coat to prevent runs.
  • Allow full drying time between coats for optimal layer adhesion.

Thank rcjaz, I received all items and am happy with this partnership. I hope it is for many years Marcos
Avoid spraying directly onto clear canopies or windows; mask them first or remove clear parts before applying AS-12 to prevent clouding.
Yes. Light pre-shading with darker tones can show through slightly and add depth under the metallic layer, but test to balance the effect.
Keep cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight, and shake before the next use to re-mix the lacquer.
Apply a gloss coat or setting solution before decals, then use AS-12 in thin layers; test a small area to ensure decals do not lift or wrinkle.
