This new Aces High Magazine issue is dedicated to a series of jet aircraft which built their combat legend during the past seven decades.
After the end of World War II, France developed a number of interesting aircraft designs, from the MD450 Ouragan, through the Mystère/Super Mystère family, the Étendard/Super Étendard and the most famous Mirage family, which did not only successfully serve in the domestic front, but also made their way to the arsenals of several air forces all around the world, and proved their combat capabilities in different conditions.
Another significant design, the Jaguar attack aircraft, was developed as a joint project with the United Kingdom. In this issue, AK takes you for a tour of these famous aircraft, with a variety of models and camouflage schemes which will delight every modeller.
Wet Palette
SKU: AK8064
9,95€
The Wet Palette is a tool mainly used by figure painters, but more and more it is being used by people that paint with acrylics. It will extend the useful life of any acrylic so that it can be used for hours and once shut it will preserve the colours and colour mixtures. It can be kept in the fridge.
It has three components:
1. Sponge, to hold large quantities of water, since it is quite thick.
2.Cloth made of fibre, placed on top of the sponge as a leveller, humidity filter, and as an interchangeable element in case of stains or if not used for a long time.
3. High-quality special Paper, made of a fine silicone film, allows the transfer of humidity but prevents water forming and paints from dissolving, and does not give off any fibres not hairs when worked with the brushes.
The Wet Palette is watertight and airtight, made of the same material of marine containers for flares, charts, and medicines. Its locks guarantee the seal. This extends the life of paints, especially in Summer, hot climates, and under extreme conditions.
Greenpower 2 Component Modelling Putty
SKU: AK8208
This product contains 2 strips of 10cm of putty.
5,95€
GREENPOWER is an epoxy putty that when mixed both components at room temperature allows the modeller to recreate any models shape. Once mixed both components the result becomes a sticky green putty. Then you have about 90 minutes to mould and detail, reaching maximum hardness after 24 hours.
To obtain smoother surfaces it is recommended to use a lubricant such as water, oil, or vaseline, in order to prevent unwanted settling of the putty. The tools must be always lubricated or moistened, and talcum powder can be used to avoid fingerprints or to add texture. Altering the proportions of both components produces a greater or lesser hardness and hardening faster or slower. Storing the putty in a cool area or even in the refrigerator will keep it in better condition and will last longer.
