Tamiya LP lacquer paint for plastic model kits
Tamiya LP lacquer paints are quick-drying 10ml model paints with a durable finish. They can be airbrushed for larger panels or used with a brush for smaller details, making the range suitable for model cars, motorcycles, aircraft, armour and other plastic model kits.
