ATOM COLOR NATO Green

ATOM COLOR NATO Green - acrylic modeling paint, 20 ml (AMMO)

This is a modeling paint, not a kit. ATOM COLOR is a newer acrylic range from AMMO: the paints are water-thinnable, odorless, in a clear 20 ml bottle with a one-handed cap. The formulation is self-leveling, dries quickly, covers well and is tough once dry - it takes acrylic and enamel effects, decals and masking tape, which you will appreciate on a multicolor camouflage scheme. For an airbrush the manufacturer recommends adding roughly 30 percent of thinner from the ATOM range. For this shade the manufacturer declares the FS34094 equivalence.

The three-color NATO camouflage

This shade is one of the three components of the three-color NATO camouflage: green, brown and black. Within it the green usually serves as the base tone over which the remaining two colors are applied. The scheme has been taking hold in the NATO armies since the 1980s and is in use to this day - it became the standard for the Bundeswehr and the US Army among others. It was designed for the wooded Central European environment of the temperate zone, that is, for the terrain where the main clash was expected; hence precisely this trio of muted, woodland tones.

Important: the green does not make the scheme on its own. Without the third component, the black, the NATO camouflage cannot be completed. You need the whole trio: this NATO Green, ATOM COLOR NATO Brown and NATO Black from the same range.

Use

• The green component (usually the base tone) of the three-color NATO scheme
• Modern armored and wheeled vehicles from the 1980s to the present
• Airbrushing with soft as well as masked hard transitions (the paint takes masking tape)
• A rewarding base under washes, filters, dust and mud effects
• Add the shades NATO Brown and NATO Black - without them the scheme cannot be completed

Who it is for

For modelers of modern military vehicles who build machines in the current NATO camouflage scheme. A water-thinnable acrylic also suits working at home without solvents.

A water-thinnable acrylic paint, odorless. Work in a ventilated room and use a respirator and eye protection while spraying. Keep out of the reach of children. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, close it immediately after work and clean the airbrush before the paint dries.
