About product

Tamiya LP-36 Dark Ghost Gray (10 ml)

Tamiya LP-36 Dark Ghost Gray is a lacquer paint from the Tamiya Color Lacquer Paint (LP) range - that is, a modeling paint, not a kit. The bottle holds 10 ml, and the shade is recommended for the colors of modern aircraft. Tamiya has three separate chemistries: acrylic (thinner X-20A), enamel (thinner X-20) and LP lacquer (thinner LP-10). This paint therefore cannot be thinned with water or with an acrylic thinner. LP is a lacquer range, not an acrylic one, and it is worth keeping that in mind when choosing a thinner.

The two-tone gray scheme - LP-36 and LP-37 belong together

Dark Ghost Gray is the darker half of the pair of grays that modern American combat aircraft have worn since the 1980s in their low-visibility finish - among them the F-15 and the carrier fighters of the US Navy. The scheme is sprayed in two tones: the darker gray on the upper and side surfaces, the lighter one on the lower surfaces, with soft, blurred transitions between them. That is exactly the point of the scheme - to suppress the silhouette of the machine against the sky and against the ground alike. The other half is Tamiya LP-37 Light Ghost Gray, and without it the scheme simply cannot be completed. The two paints therefore belong together.

Use and tips

  • Thinning and cleaning: Tamiya LP-10, not water, not X-20A.
  • A lacquer is more aggressive to plastic - spray thin coats, ideally over a primer.
  • Never lay it over an uncured enamel or acrylic - the lacquer coat will attack them.
  • Make the transitions between the two grays soft with an airbrush (low pressure, thinned paint, a free hand), or over a masking rope or a slightly lifted mask.
  • It dries quickly and forms a tough film - an excellent base under enamel washes and panel lines.

Who the paint is for

For modelers of modern American combat aircraft and of all machines in a gray low-visibility coat. Suitable for an airbrush and for details with a brush.

The paint contains organic solvents: it is highly flammable and gives off strong fumes. Work in a well ventilated area, use a respirator with a filter for organic vapors and protect your eyes and skin. Keep out of the reach of children and away from sources of fire and heat. The LP-10 thinner is not included in the package.

FAQ

Yes, if you are building the whole low-visibility gray scheme. LP-36 Dark Ghost Gray is the darker tone for the upper and side surfaces, LP-37 Light Ghost Gray the lighter tone for the lower surfaces. Only the two together give the typical two-tone look with soft transitions.

No. The LP range is a lacquer. Tamiya has acrylics (thinner X-20A), enamels (X-20) and LP lacquers (LP-10). LP-36 does not thin with water or with X-20A.

With an airbrush at low pressure, with the paint thinned with LP-10, a free hand and several light passes. Masking with a slightly lifted mask or a rope also helps, because it creates a blurred edge instead of a hard line.

You can, but we do not recommend it. Lacquer paints are more aggressive to plastic, so spray thin coats and ideally lay down a primer first - the surface will be smoother and the paint will adhere better.
