British Dark Olive Green PFI 17 ml.

The color

A dark olive green in the British rendering. It is a subdued green tone with a brown component of the kind used on the large areas of ground vehicles. Against bright greens it reads as earthy, and that is exactly how it should look on a model: the color is there to hide a machine in the terrain, not to set it off. The shade takes subsequent dusting and lightening well and is a rewarding base for further work on the surface.

From the Real Colors range

The paint belongs to the Real Colors range of the AK Interactive brand, a palette put together to period color charts. It is an acrylic paint intended for modeling work. The container holds 17 ml.

Painting tips

• Stir the paint thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles to the bottom.
• Apply thin coats, as one heavy coat clogs the fine relief of the surface.
• Bring a large green area to life with a lightened shade toward the middle of the panels, or it will read as flat.
• Before a dark wash, let the paint dry properly and protect the area with a clear coat.
• Choose the thinner, the thinning ratio and the cleaning of tools according to the manufacturer instructions on the packaging.

Who it is for

It is aimed at builders of British ground vehicles who need a dark olive green for a whole machine, and at modelers of accessories and figures, where it suits equipment, crates and small gear.
