This set is specifically designed for painting British Army vehicles used in North African and Mediterranean campaigns from the 1950s to the present day, offering historically accurate colours.
Yes, the 3rd Generation acrylic formula is user-friendly, with good coverage and easy cleanup, making them suitable for beginners and experienced modelers alike.
Absolutely. The paints can be thinned with water or an acrylic thinner for use with an airbrush, providing smooth and even coverage for larger areas.
Clean your brushes immediately after use with water. For stubborn or dried paint, use an acrylic-specific brush cleaner.
These are water-based acrylic paints and are non-toxic, but they are not a toy and should be handled with care by adult modelers.
Under normal conditions, the paint will be dry to the touch within 30-60 minutes and fully cured within 24 hours. Drying times can vary based on humidity and application thickness.
The colours are suitable for all scales of model vehicles where these specific British desert camouflage schemes were used. The effective use depends on historical accuracy rather than scale.
Thin the paint gradually with water or an acrylic-specific airbrush thinner until the desired consistency is achieved. Start with a ratio of 1:1 and adjust as needed.
Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free of mold release agents or oils. Applying a suitable primer before painting can significantly improve adhesion.
Apply paint in thin, multiple layers rather than one thick coat. Use a quality brush and a smooth, consistent painting motion. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next.
Use a flow improver or retarder mixed with your thinner. Work in smaller sections and clean your brush or airbrush more frequently.
Setup:
This paint set requires no prior setup beyond opening the containers. Ensure a well-ventilated workspace when painting.
Compatibility:
AK Interactive 3rd Generation acrylic paints are designed to adhere to most common modeling surfaces, including plastic, resin, metal, and previously painted surfaces. They are compatible with most standard acrylic thinners and mediums. For best results, use a primer suitable for your model's material.
