About product

Revell Email Color 87 Earth brown (14 ml, matte)

Revell 87 Earth brown is a synthetic enamel paint on a solvent base in a bottle of 14 ml. The shade matches RAL 7006 and has a matte surface. It is not an acrylic and it is not thinned with water: use Revell Color Mix, or mineral spirits. The paint does not attack the surface of modeling plastic and is applied with a brush as well as an airbrush. Note: this is a modeling paint, not a kit.

Use

  • Mud deposits: the undersides of hulls, fenders, running gear, the tracks and wheels of vehicles.
  • Dust and drifts: dusted edges, the areas above the tracks, the lower parts of fuselages.
  • Earth and dioramas: a base for terrain, track ruts, soil between stones and grass.
  • Weathering of running gear: the most typical use of this shade.
  • A base under pigments: a matte earthy surface holds dry pigments and washes considerably better than a gloss one.

How to tell it from the other browns, and how to apply it

This is not a paint for covering areas. While 85 Brown paints objects (leather, wood, crates) and 86 Olive brown military vehicles and uniforms, 87 Earth brown paints dirt. It is therefore mostly applied thinned and unevenly, in thin coats, by stippling, with a harder brush or a sponge. A continuous, even coat of this paint over a whole model looks unnatural and is the most common mistake; the aim is a deposit with random edges and varying density.

Weathering tips

Stir the paint thoroughly and thin it with Revell Color Mix more than you would expect, as a thin paint can be layered and is easier to correct. Earthy shades are the basis of weathering: combine them with a wash, a dry brush and pigments, and never stop at a flat coat. Work from the bottom up, as the most dirt belongs near the ground. Clean the brushes with an enamel cleaner, not with water.

Who the paint is for

For modelers of military vehicles and builders of dioramas who weather running gear, tracks and terrain, and for anyone who wants to take the artificial cleanliness away from a model.

Safety: a flammable liquid. It irritates the airways, so work in a well-ventilated area and use respiratory protection when spraying. Keep out of the reach of children and away from sources of ignition. This is not a product for small children.

FAQ

That is not its purpose. 87 Earth brown is a shade for dirt: mud, dust, soil. It is applied rather thinned and unevenly, in layers with irregular transitions. For a continuous base coat choose 85 Brown or 86 Olive brown instead.

The surface is matte and the volume is 14 ml. A matte surface is an advantage for weathering, as it takes washes well and holds dry pigments.

With Revell Color Mix, or with mineral spirits. It is an enamel paint on a solvent base and cannot be thinned with water. For weathering, thin it considerably more, as a thin paint layers and corrects better.

Never with a flat coat alone. Combine thinned 87 Earth brown with a wash and a dry brush, work from the bottom up and leave the deposits with random edges and varying density.
