The six colours included in this paint set are specifically designed to aid the modeller in creating a realistic appearance for all types of wheels and tracks. The set includes a Darker Black colour with a satin finish representing new tires, while the wear of older tires is represented by a Dark Grey colour. Also included are two new shades of track colours; a Light Rust colour to represent fresh rust as might be observed on the tracks of an abandoned AFV, and a Dark Tracks that accurately creates the appearance of operational treads. Finally, AKII provides two tones, Dry Mud and Light Dust, that will allow you to dirty and dust your wheels and tracks easily for a natural appearance. AKII acrylic paints are water-soluble and can be applied by brush and airbrush; additionally, AKII paints are free of odours 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 AKII paints. However, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of AKII's specially formulated thinner AKII712. Useful with all acrylic paints, AKII712 improves the performance of the paint and is vastly superior to most other available thinners.
