Lifecolor BC02 Acrylic Primer Red Brown 22ml is a professional acrylic primer that has earned recognition among experienced modelers and hobbyists worldwide. Created by the renowned Lifecolor brand, this advanced product provides excellent adhesion and a perfect surface for subsequent paint layers, especially in plastic, resin, and metal modeling.

The BC02 primer features an intense red-brown shade, inspired by industrial anti-corrosion primers historically used on military vehicles and armored trains, particularly during World War II in the German army. A similar shade was also used on armored equipment and railway carriages. It is perfectly suited for faithfully reproducing realism in 1/35, 1/48, or 1/72 scale models representing German vehicles from 1939-1945, or equipment still in use today.

Lifecolor BC02 is a water-soluble acrylic – safe and easy to use, while also avoiding the unpleasant smell typical of oil or synthetic primers. It dries quickly and, once dry, forms a uniform, matte layer that accepts subsequent coats of paint very well, regardless of the technique used (brush, airbrush).
