Scale-Accurate IJN Yokosuka Grey

Introducing Tamiya's 82115 LP-15 IJN Gray Gloss Lacquer Paint, supplied in a 10ml bottle for precise model finishing. The colour emulates the grey used on Imperial Japanese Navy ships constructed at Yokosuka Arsenal, with historical examples like Shinano and Shokaku as references.

Performance and Compatibility

The lacquer is versatile, delivering smooth coverage when sprayed and controlled strokes when brushed. It develops a strong membrane that makes it an excellent undercoat and provides resistance to enamel paints, yielding a long-lasting gloss appearance. The quick-dry characteristics speed up workflow.

Practical Painting Advice

For consistent atomization and finish, thin with Tamiya's lacquer thinner to the desired viscosity before airbrushing. The shade works across many modelling subjects to give a realistic, uniform tone that improves the overall look of builds.

You can brush it directly for small areas, though thinning slightly can improve flow and reduce brush marks for larger surfaces.
Yes, the lacquer forms a robust film that is resistant to enamel paints, making it a good base layer in mixed-media painting sequences.
The shade is formulated to resemble the Yokosuka grey used on IJN vessels and is a suitable choice for historically inspired ship and naval modelling.
