About product

The black that cannot be painted with black

Anyone who paints a tank crewman's uniform straight from the bottle of black gets a silhouette with no folds. The modeling approach therefore works with a whole scale: the darkest tone creeps into the folds and under the collar, the middle one covers the surface, and two lighter grays pull out the edges, the sleeves and the shoulders where the light would fall. It is exactly this scale that the set has ready, so there is no hunting for what to lighten black with so that it does not turn blue or go coldly gray.

What the real subject was

The special uniform of German armored units introduced in the mid-1930s was short, close-fitting and deliberately dark, so that oil stains would not show in the cramped fighting compartment. It was completed by pink piping, by which the branch of service could be recognized from a distance, and by black collar patches with a skull. The set covers both of these details separately.

Contents

  • A shadow tone, a base and two lightening tones for black cloth
  • An old rose shade for the piping and the collar patches
  • A silvery gray for the small embroidery and the buttons
  • A third-generation acrylic range for brush and airbrush alike

You work from the darkest tone to the lightest, each coat covering a smaller area than the one before, and the transitions are blended with a damp brush. At the end a light pass with the edge of an almost dry brush works well, pulling out a seam and a button. On a figure leaning out of a turret hatch, remember that the cloth is stretched on the sleeves and the shoulders, and that is exactly where the lightest tone belongs, applied only in a narrow strip.

FAQ

Pure black on a figure swallows every fold. The lighter grays serve to pull out the edges, otherwise the figure would look flat.

German armored units of the Second World War, which wore the dark special uniform with pink piping.

Yes, the scale suits any dark garment, uniform or civilian coat. The pink shade then stays aside.

Both. On figures brushwork predominates, and flat base coats can be sprayed once thinned.
