Achieve Clean Metallic Red with Tamiya LP-42

Tamiya LP-42 Mica Red Lacquer creates a vivid, metallic red layer that brings a realistic sheen to scale models. Supplied in 10ml, the paint is suited to airbrushing or careful brush application for small details.

Reliable Basecoat Performance

The lacquer is known for forming a solid membrane that can be used as a base under enamel or other finishes. Its durability helps preserve the look of your model when applying subsequent coats.

Consistent Finish for Detail Work

With even pigment distribution and mica highlights, LP-42 helps emphasise panel lines and smaller components while still covering larger surfaces smoothly.

Best Practice for Application

Use Tamiya lacquer thinner to adjust viscosity for your tool and test on a scrap part before committing. Note that colours may display slightly differently compared with Tamiya acrylics or sprays.

A clear topcoat can protect the lacquer layer and even out sheen variations, but sealing is optional depending on the final look you want.
Yes, lacquers generally adhere well to resin after proper cleaning and a light scuffing. Always test adhesion on a small area first.
Drying time depends on temperature and humidity. Allow the paint to set until tack-free before applying further coats for best results.
