Tamiya 82142 LP-42 Mica Red Lacquer 10ml Bottle  [82142]

Bring Models to Life with Tamiya LP-42 Mica Red

This Tamiya LP-42 Mica Red Lacquer produces a bright, metallic red finish that adds depth to scale models. Supplied in a 10ml bottle, this lacquer is formulated for both airbrushing and hand painting so you can choose the method that suits your build.

Flexible Use Across Modelling Projects

The LP-42 works well on a variety of modelling tasks and functions as a strong basecoat thanks to its membrane. It holds up under enamel topcoats and other layers, helping maintain a clean finish even when you layer paints. The paint dries quickly, letting you move through coats without long delays.

Even Coverage and Enhanced Detail

Consistent pigment and a mica effect give LP-42 a uniform appearance that highlights fine details as well as larger panels. Use it for small trim pieces or whole body panels to achieve a realistic metallic look.

Practical Application Advice

For best results, thin with Tamiya lacquer thinner and adjust consistency to your application method. Colours may vary compared to Tamiya acrylics and sprays, so try a small test patch before committing to a full paint job.
