This set contains 6 acrylic paints specifically designed to paint Royal Navy camouflages during the Second World War. This first set includes the typical colours most used by the different manufacturers in the different schemes. With this, it is possible to make multiple combinations. Specially those used in medium and large size ships like Cruises, Battleships or Aircraft carriers.
The colours within each bottle are true to the satin original colour.
It is part of AK Interactive’s ‘Naval Series’ paints. These paints are historically accurate and use top quality components to exacting standards in their special formula.
What’s more, the colours take into account the effect of scale reduction. For example, a model ship reflects less light than an actual full-size ship. Therefore, this means the colour applied to the model must be of a lighter shade to look the same as the full-sized version. If you applied the exact same shade of paint to both the full-sized version and the model, then the model would appear darker as it reflects less light.
AK acrylic paints are water soluble and it is possible to apply them by brush and airbrush. Ready to use straight from the bottle; simply shake, and the paint is ready to go. Dilution is not necessary when airbrushing AK paints. Additionally, AK paints are free of odours unlike aggressive solvent based paints.
However, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of the specially formulated thinner AK-712. Useful with all acrylic paints, AK-712 improves the performance of the paint.
