Nissan Z Ikazuchi Yellow + BASE

🔥 Serious modelers standardise on colours they can trust. Nissan Z Ikazuchi Yellow + BASE is formulated for predictable coverage and true colour rendering, so every session ends with a finish you're proud to display.

Nissan Z Ikazuchi Yellow + BASE represents a colour tied to Nissan's competition and road-car heritage. Nissan's factory racing colours have anchored the brand's touring car, GT and Le Mans programmes across several decades of competition.

Nissan Z Ikazuchi Yellow + BASE is an acrylic paint that is water-based and formulated for brush and airbrush use alike. Its pigment grind is tuned for 1:24 to 1:72 scale kits and 1:32/1:35 figures, giving smooth coverage without swamping raised detail, and it cleans up with water rather than solvents.

💡 Laboratory Application Tips

• Preparation (Primer): A White Primer is recommended for this light tone, giving the pigment a clean, uniform base so the true colour reads correctly instead of appearing dull or uneven over a darker surface.
• Painting Technique: Thin slightly with water or acrylic thinner and apply in several light passes rather than one heavy coat; acrylics dry fast, so overlapping strokes should be kept light to avoid lifting the layer underneath.
• Finishing: Seal the finished colour with an acrylic-compatible Gloss, Satin or Matte varnish once fully cured, to protect the surface and even out the sheen before weathering or decals.

⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes

Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula is adjusted to counter the "scale effect," so light reflection on the miniature stays proportional to the real vehicle or object rather than looking artificially pale or dark.

Visual note: Product photos are for reference only. The full three-dimensional depth and true pigment brilliance only become visible once the model is painted and properly clearcoated.
