Tamiya 85081 TS-81 British Navy Gray aerosol for models

The Tamiya 85081 TS-81 British Navy Gray aerosol delivers a realistic naval gray suited to hobbyists building scale vessels and dioramas. It is intended for static plastic kits where faithful colour matching to historical ships matters for display authenticity.

Practical uses on model projects

A single 100ml can of TS-81 covers multiple small kits and touch-ups. The spray is formulated to lay down evenly, helping modellers achieve a clean base coat with steady, sweeping passes. The cap colour makes it easy to spot the shade at a glance in your paint rack.

Colour accuracy for period builds

When assembling WWII era ships or coastal craft, this British Navy Gray is a reliable base tone. Use it before applying filters, washes and chipping to recreate the weathered look seen on service vessels.

No. TS-81 is formulated for solid plastics and static kits. Polycarbonate shells need paints made for lexan to stay flexible and prevent cracking.
Keep the can moving, apply thin coats, and hold the nozzle at a consistent distance. If orange peel appears, allow full cure then wet sand and polish for a smoother surface.
Yes. Once the paint is fully dry, use a compatible clear coat to achieve the desired sheen and protect the finish from handling and weathering.
As a base coat it blends visually with other Tamiya lacquers when used in layered techniques, but test combinations first on scrap plastic to confirm colour match and adhesion.
