Classic Red Brown Lacquer for Scale Kits

The Tamiya 82157 - LP-57 Red Brown 2 10ml bottle supplies a faithful red brown colour often used on mid 20th century armour models. It is targeted at modellers seeking authentic hues for restoration or display pieces.

Durability You Can Trust

Tamiya lacquers form a tough membrane that provides an excellent base for later enamel or acrylic layers. Their resilience helps protect painted surfaces during handling and assembly, while drying time is kept short for productive workflows.

Suitable for Multiple Techniques

Use LP-57 for broad airbrushed basecoats or for brush-applied accents; it offers reliable coverage and consistent tone across different methods. That adaptability makes it useful for varied modelling projects.

Shade and Thinner Advice

Remember that lacquer shades may differ slightly from Tamiya acrylics and sprays. For predictable results, thin with Tamiya lacquer thinner and trial on a scrap piece before final application.

Applied properly, lacquer basecoats are stable under decals. Seal decals with a clear layer after they are set to avoid silvering when finishing.
Yes, lacquer basecoats generally accept enamel washes, but ensure the lacquer is fully cured and consider a thin protective coat if you plan heavy weathering.
Keep bottles tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake before use and label opened bottles with the date for inventory control.
