Accurate aircraft spray finish

Tamiya AS-18 Light Grey is a synthetic lacquer spray formulated for model aircraft builders. It replicates the subtle grey tones seen on real aircraft and is well suited to 1/32 and 1/48 scale kits. Each aerosol contains 100ml, providing reliable coverage for small to medium projects.

Ideal for scale detailing and smooth coats

Use this Tamiya AS-18 spray when you need a consistent light grey base on fighters or contemporary jets. The spray can produces even coverage that helps preserve fine panel lines and cockpit details without heavy buildup.

Can this paint be used on polycarbonate RC shells?

This lacquer is formulated for plastic scale models and is not recommended for polycarbonate RC bodies. Use a polycarbonate-specific paint or a suitable clear coat designed for lexan.

How much area will a 100ml can cover?

Coverage varies with technique, but a single 100ml can typically covers several 1/32 or multiple 1/48 aircraft with light to moderate coats. Multiple thin passes give the best finish.

Do I need a primer before using this lacquer?

A primer improves adhesion and evens surface texture, especially on darker plastics or repaired areas. For best results, use a primer compatible with synthetic lacquers before applying AS-18.
