Tamiya 82161 LP-61 Metallic Gray 10ml is a high-quality model lacquer from the renowned Lacquer Paint series by Japanese manufacturer Tamiya. Designed for both professionals and hobbyists, this versatile product offers broad possibilities for painting plastic models, whether by brush or airbrush. The metallic gray shade is perfect for recreating realistic metal surfaces such as armament parts, aircraft details, military or civilian vehicles in 1/24, 1/35, and other popular scales.

• Package volume: 10 ml – the ideal amount for painting details as well as larger model surfaces.

• Metallic Gray – an attractive, slightly glossy, deep gray shade with a metallic sheen, perfect for simulating metal areas on models.
• Can be used as a base coat – works great with all enamels and acrylic paints, as well as a primer layer for weathering effects.

The product is not scaled or strictly related to a specific scale or historical era, but finds application with military (World War II, Cold War, modern), aviation, and civilian models. It is the perfect choice for replicating rims, cockpit instruments, engines, or weapons.

I recommend Tamiya LP-61 Metallic Gray to every modeler, regardless of skill level. Its versatility, fast drying time, and outstanding metallic effect will be appreciated by both beginners and advanced enthusiasts. Recommended paint difficulty level: 2/5.
