Neutral Grey Spray for Scale Aircraft Modelling

Tamiya 86507 AS-7 Neutral Grey is aimed at modellers who want a reliable grey for 1/32 and 1/48 scale aircraft. The product comes in a 100ml synthetic lacquer aerosol that helps you obtain an even, controllable coat.

Designed to Reproduce USAAF Grey

This formulation reproduces the neutral grey tones seen on United States Army Air Forces aircraft, aiding accurate restorations of period schemes. The spray delivers a consistent laydown across curved and flat surfaces.

Practical Application Tips

Use light, overlapping passes to build colour without runs and let each layer flash off before applying the next. The 100ml can size is convenient for several passes on most airframe kits.

Will this lacquer stick to old kit paint?

If the existing paint is sound, clean and scuff it lightly first. A primer layer is recommended for the best long term adhesion of the lacquer.

How far should I hold the can when spraying?

Hold the can at a moderate distance and use steady passes. Keeping the can too close can cause pooling, while too far reduces coverage. Practice on scrap to dial in the distance.

Can I overcoat with enamel or acrylic?

Compatibility depends on the products involved. Typically allow the lacquer to cure fully and use suitable primers or sealers when switching paint types to avoid lifting or solvent attack.

How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?

Wipe the nozzle immediately after spraying and follow the manufacturer's guidance for unclogging. Running a short blast upside down can help clear the valve.
