The LP-50 Bright Red from Tamiya is a lacquer that produces a vivid glossy finish ideal for scale and display models. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, it suits precision work and smaller panels while still allowing larger touch-up coverage. You can apply it by hand or by airbrush depending on your workflow.
This lacquer forms a sturdy membrane that serves well as a basecoat and holds up when used alongside many enamel products. Its relatively fast drying helps keep projects moving and reduces blocking between layers. Be aware the shade can vary compared to Tamiya acrylics or spray cans with the same label.
Use a Tamiya lacquer thinner to obtain the best spray characteristics and to avoid clogging. Thinning is especially important for airbrush use and when aiming for very thin, even layers.
