New AK Interactive products for June/July release…
The German army used several ordinances for camouflage on
their vehicles during WWII. This set includes the most important colours in use
from 1937 to 1944, and includes 6 colours designed to represent the initial
Dunkelbraun and Dunkelgrey camo, the middle war version of Dunkelgelb and a
green colour used by Waffen SS and Polizei units on light and second line
vehicles. Finally, the set also includes two different versions of Olivgrun
allowing the modeller represent the different paint conditions and faded
effects for this colour. For the first time we will be able to paint German
tanks without complex mixes and hours of research. These paints have been
designed in consideration of the Scale Reduction Effect (subtle lighter than
actual colour), to obtain the correct colours in our kits. These paints are
designed to be effective for airbrush and brush and are water-soluble– avoiding
strong smells and harmful solvents.
Our Waterborne polymer primer is available in a versatile
white colour that is perfect for use as a basis for any light colour. Its
superb adhesion qualities combined with a matt-satin finish make our primer the
perfect choice for preparing models for painting. Only a light layer of primer
is required for full, effective coverage; insuring that every surface detail
remain crisp and clean.
