Scale-Accurate Bare-Metal Look with Tamiya AS-12

Tamiya AS-12 Bare-Metal Silver spray paint is formulated to give model aircraft an authentic metallic appearance, ideal for 1/32 and 1/48 scale kits. A 100ml synthetic lacquer can ensures manageable application for accurate finishes.

Use for Various Aircraft Types

From light trainers to heavy bombers, AS-12 provides steady coverage and colour consistency, helping preserve small stencilling and panel details during painting.

Spray Technique Tips

Make sure surfaces are free of dust and oils and primed where needed.
Shake thoroughly and test spray on a spare surface first.
Apply short, even bursts and overlap passes to build colour evenly.
Dry times between coats reduce the risk of surface imperfections.

Can I use AS-12 on resin parts?

Yes, but ensure resin parts are properly cleaned and primed first to promote good adhesion and avoid reactions with the lacquer.

Does AS-12 need a clear coat?

A clear coat can protect the metallic finish and even out sheen; choose gloss or satin depending on the desired final look.

What distance should I hold the can when spraying?

Hold the can about 20-30 cm from the surface and use consistent sweeping motions to lay down thin, even layers.
