Application and Compatibility
The Tamiya LP-26 paint is dedicated to painting plastic models, especially military models and vehicles from the JGSDF series. Thanks to its smooth consistency and suitable formulation, it is ideal for airbrushing. However, it is not recommended to apply with a brush due to the risk of streaks and damage to previous layers.
Before painting, thoroughly clean and degrease the model’s surface. Using a primer significantly improves adhesion and the final look, especially when applying with a brush.
Airbrush Painting
The paint works best when applied with an airbrush, using a thinner in a 1:1 ratio. This ensures optimal viscosity and flow, minimizing the risk of nozzle clogging. Due to the presence of solvents, it’s recommended to wear respiratory protection and paint in a well-ventilated area or in a spray booth.
Brush Painting
Only suitable for small touch-ups or tiny surfaces. Applying with a brush may cause the solvents to lift previous layers and create streaks, due to their strong solvent action.
