FAQs

What is the specific color this paint represents?

This paint represents the interior turquoise green color used in modern Russian aircraft cockpits (like MiG-21, -23, -25, -27, -31, early -29) and Mi-8/Mi-24 helicopters, as well as SCUD vehicles.

Can I use this paint with a brush and an airbrush?

Yes, the paint is designed for both brush and airbrush application. For airbrushing, thinning with MIG -2000 Acrylic Thinner is recommended for optimal results.

Is this paint toxic or does it have a strong odor?

No, this is a water-based acrylic paint that is odorless and non-toxic.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint dries completely in 24 hours. It may be touch-dry sooner, but full curing takes a full day.

What should I use to clean my brushes or airbrush?

Clean up immediately after use with water. If the paint has dried, isopropyl alcohol may be effective.

Does the paint come with anything to help mix it?

Yes, each 17ml jar includes a stainless steel agitator to help facilitate mixing.

What is the best thinner to use with this paint?

We recommend using MIG -2000 Acrylic Thinner for correct thinning and optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick for airbrush

Thin the paint further with MIG -2000 Acrylic Thinner, adding small amounts until the desired consistency is achieved for your airbrush setup.

Paint is separating or clumpy

Shake the jar more vigorously for an extended period. Ensure the agitator is present and functioning. If the paint is old and has dried excessively, it may not be salvageable.

Poor adhesion to surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or dust. Apply a suitable primer before painting. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Brush strokes are visible

Apply paint in thin, multiple coats rather than one thick coat. Consider thinning the paint slightly with water or MIG -2000 Acrylic Thinner for a smoother finish. Use a quality brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides an accurate and specific color for historical modeling accuracy.
  • Versatile application suitable for both brush and airbrush.
  • Non-toxic and water-soluble properties enhance user safety and ease of cleanup.
  • Includes an agitator for consistent paint mixing.
  • Quick drying time allows for faster project completion.

Cons

  • Thinning is recommended for best results, requiring an additional product.
  • 17ml jar size may be insufficient for very large projects.
  • Requires thorough shaking and mixing before use.
  • Drying time of 24 hours for complete cure may be a consideration for rapid diorama work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake Well: Before each use, shake the jar vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the pigment and base are fully mixed.
  2. Use Agitator: The included stainless steel agitator will help break up any settled pigment. Continue shaking until the agitator moves freely and the paint is uniformly colored.
  3. Thinning (Recommended): For airbrushing, or for a smoother brush finish, thin the paint using MIG -2000 Acrylic Thinner. Start with a ratio of 1 part paint to 1 part thinner and adjust as needed for your application method.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Suitable for use on plastic model kits, resin, metal, and wood.
  • Priming: For best adhesion and results, apply to a surface primed with a compatible acrylic or enamel primer.
  • Other Paints: Compatible with other water-based acrylic paints. When using with solvent-based paints, ensure proper drying times between applications.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after use to prevent drying.
  • Cleaning: Clean brushes, airbrushes, and spills immediately after use with water. For dried paint, isopropyl alcohol may be required.
  • Drying Time: The paint is touch-dry relatively quickly, but it dries completely in 24 hours. Avoid handling or applying further treatments until fully cured.
