Red For Char Aznable (Semi-Gloss)

Red For Char Aznable (Semi-Gloss) - a color from the Gundam series

A modeling paint from the Japanese brand Gunze from the series of colors for kits from the Gundam universe. The color belongs to the personal color finish of one of the best known characters of the series and carries his name directly in its own name. The designation Semi-Gloss in the name gives a semi-gloss surface.

Which scheme the color belongs to

Char Aznable had his machines sprayed in his own colors instead of the standard coloring of the unit, and it is precisely this conspicuous red that earned him the nickname every viewer of the series knows him by. For a modeler it is a practical shortcut: instead of looking for the right tone in a color chart you reach straight for the color that is mixed for this task and goes with the other paints from the same range. The red is applied on a model as one of the last, because another color will no longer go over it evenly.

Use and tips

• Apply the rich red in order after the lighter colors of the scheme
• Shake the bottle thoroughly before applying; the pigment settles at the bottom
• Apply in several thin layers; one thick one will flood the engraved lines
• Test the compatibility with a varnish or patina on an offcut of the sprue
• Settle the thinner and the cleaning of the tools according to the manufacturer's instructions for this range

Who the color is for

The color is meant for builders of kits from the Gundam universe who are building a machine in the commander's finish, and for modelers looking for a rich red for equipment or figures.

Store the paint out of the reach of children, work in a ventilated space and use a respirator and eye protection when spraying. Check the suitable thinner and the cleaning of the tools against the manufacturer's data for this range - Gunze carries several systems side by side that do not mix with one another.
