CRE-03 Mr.Color Revival - British Green

The color

A dark green carried under the name British Green, that is a shade named after British hardware. Green in this tone is a color you recognize on a model without a label: dark enough to look serious and clean enough not to wash out into gray. On large areas it lets the shape of the part stand out, while in the seams it darkens nicely after a dark shading pass.

What Revival means

The designation belongs to a line that brings back Mr.Color shades made in the past. For a modeler it means just one thing: a paint he once had half used and had not met in a shop for years can be bought again without having to put it together by mixing other shades. An unfinished project can therefore be completed in the same tone in which it was started.

Application tips

• Stir the paint thoroughly before use; the pigment settles at the bottom of the jar when left standing.
• It is thinned with the thinner for Mr.Color; thinners from another system will curdle it and the surface will then be grainy.
• Spray in thin coats and let them flash off; a single heavy coat floods fine relief.
• A dark green goes darker still on a small model, so it can be lightened slightly for tonal separation.
• Give the surface a gloss coat before decals; on matte paint a silvery veil stays around a decal.

Who it is for

For modelers of British hardware and for anyone who is missing this green tone in the palette or who is finishing an older, part-built model. Thinner, primer, varnish and brushes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
