About product

The paint

The shade LP-79 Flat Red, that is a flat red, from the Tamiya LP paint line. A flat finish means that the dried surface gives back no sheen, which matches the service coatings of real equipment. Choose the thinner and the thinning ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging, or use the thinner intended for this line.

What it is suited to

Red appears on models both across whole areas and in small details. It comes into play on fire and rescue equipment, on sports cars, on the national markings and bands of aircraft, on signal elements and flags, on hydrants and safety features in a scene, and also on small items such as intake plugs and sensor covers with streamers. In a flat finish it takes later shadow accents, dusting and wear well.

Application tips

Mix the bottle well before use so that the settled pigment is dispersed again. Red, together with yellow, is among the shades with lower covering power, so apply it over a light base and in several thin coats. Over a dark base it darkens and turns brown, while over a white or gray base it stays saturated. Let the surface dry between coats, otherwise it will wrinkle.

Who it is for

The paint suits models of vehicles and aircraft as well as figures and dioramas. The flat surface is slightly absorbent, so pigments and oil paints used in weathering hold on it well. The model, the thinner and the tools for applying it are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The thinner intended for the Tamiya LP line, in the ratio the manufacturer gives on the packaging.

You most likely applied it over a dark base. The red pigment does not cover enough, so the base shows through it. Use a light foundation.

No, the designation Flat means a flat finish. Gloss is only achieved by overcoating with a gloss varnish.

Both approaches are common in modeling. The suitable method of application and thinning for this line is given by the manufacturer on the packaging.
