AK Interactive 16029 Inks: Spell - 3-Bottle Set

Yes, these inks can be applied to any primed plastic model surface.

Once dry, these inks form a permanent layer, similar to acrylic paints.

Immediately after use, flush your airbrush with water, followed by an acrylic airbrush cleaner. Ensure all pigment residue is removed.

For maximum vibrancy, mix the inks with a light-colored acrylic paint or apply them as a thin glaze over a complementary base color.

While they can be applied in layers, their transparency means they are best used for glazing, filtering, or enhancing existing base coats, rather than as a primary opaque base coat.

Coverage depends on application method and thinning. As glazes or filters, they are very economical. As direct washes, coverage will be less. Expect to paint dozens of miniatures with standard techniques.

Thin the ink with an airbrush thinner or acrylic thinner, starting with a 1:1 ratio and adjusting as needed. Ensure your airbrush is clean and has adequate air pressure.

Ensure you are using a limited color palette when mixing. Test combinations on a spare piece of plastic or palette before applying to your model. Clean your brush thoroughly between colors.

Use a retarder or drying retardant additive in your paint water, or work in smaller areas. Consider using a wet palette.

Apply in multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Ensure your brush is loaded with the appropriate amount of thinned ink. Smooth out brush strokes while the ink is still wet.
