The three colors in this set will allow you to recreate the camouflage of vehicles used by U.S. Army and USMC during the Vietnam War. This set includes an olive drab color, common for many U.S. Army vehicles; the special forest green color used by the USMC, and a light green color for painting the interior of the M113 APC. To ensure historical accuracy of your finished model AKI paints have been designed taking into account the Scale Reduction Effect*. AKI acrylic paints are water soluble and can be applied by brush and airbrush; additionally, AKI paints are free of odors commonly found in aggressive solvent based paints
AKI's AFV series paints are not only historically accurate and specially formulated with top quality components to exacting standards but take into account the effect of scale reduction. Ready to use straight from the bottle; simply shake, and the paint is ready to go. Dilution is not necessary when airbrushing AKI paints; however, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of AKI's specially formulated thinner AKI712. Useful with all acrylic paints, AKI712 improves the performance of the paint and is vastly superior to most other available thinners.
This set contains:
AKI4011 US Army Olive Drab
AKI4012 APC Interior Light Green
AKI4013 USMC Forest Green
*A model tank reflects less light than an actual full size tank; this means the color applied to the model must be of a lighter shade to look the same as the full sized version. If the exact same shade were applied to each, the model would appear darker as it reflects less light.
