Reliable 100ml Spray for Scale Modelling

The Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand spray is a synthetic acrylic lacquer aimed at modellers who need consistent coverage on larger sections. Each 100ml can generally covers about two to three 1/24 scale plastic model car shells and produces a smooth appearance when layered correctly.

Works Well Over Cured Paint Layers

The TS range is tolerant of many cured paint types, and the Light Sand formulation can be applied over dry acrylics or enamels without causing reactions. Its drying characteristics help you progress through build stages with minimal wait time.

Recommended Applications for Static Models

While this TS-46 shade is not intended for polycarbonate RC shells, it is well suited to plastic scale kits, diorama pieces, and resin figures where a stable, even sand tone is desired. The lacquer base contributes to strong colour and a long-lasting surface.

Is a primer needed before using TS-46?

Using a plastic-compatible primer is advised for bare plastic or uneven surfaces to improve adhesion and lock in colour uniformity when using TS-46.

Can I spray directly over enamel paint?

You can apply TS-46 over fully cured enamel coats, but test a small area first. Ensure the enamel is fully dry and clean to avoid lifting or wrinkling.

What is the easiest way to avoid runs?

Keep the can moving and use light passes from an appropriate distance. Multiple fine layers are better than heavy single sprays to prevent sagging and runs.

How should I store leftover cans?

Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Shake well before use and follow any safety instructions on the label.
