About product

A blotch that has depth in itself

Camouflage Green is lighter and grayer than the dark green of armored vehicles, that is a tone suited as one component of a camouflage pattern. A pattern tends to be of two or three colors, and it is exactly there that the weakness of the usual procedure shows.

The set of solutions you do not have to keep

When a machine is painted in three colors, in the classic procedure it needs three different dark washes, because a single universal solution looks different over each of them: over a brown blotch it disappears, over a light green it brings out dirt, and over a sandy one it gives a cool cast. The modeler therefore mixes three shades of wash, has to store them and keep an eye on their ratios. A paint that carries its own shadow removes that collection, because every blotch brings its own deepening with it. The work on the boundary of the blotches also disappears, where a universal wash usually drew together into an unwanted edge.

Typical use

  • The green component of two and three-color camouflage
  • Field uniforms and camouflage nets
  • Transport crates and canvas covers
  • A green that is not meant to be as dark as on armored vehicles

Leading the application

The blotches are painted with a brush with a sharp point and a soft transition at the edge; a translucent coat forgives imprecision better than an opaque paint. On the boundary of two blotches it is recommended to let the first dry, or the shades will run together wet. Dust and mud are added right at the end, once the whole pattern is finished and cured. It also pays to try a few blotches out on an offcut of sprue with the same ground, because the ratio of the size and spacing of the blotches decides the credibility of a pattern more than the shade itself does.

FAQ

The same solution looks different over every color of the pattern. Over a light green it looks dirty, over a sandy one cold, and over a brown one it almost disappears.

Let the first blotch dry. Two wet translucent coats side by side will run together and the transition will lose its crispness.

It forgives more than an opaque paint, because a translucent coat creates a soft transition at the edge instead of a hard line.

Only once the whole pattern is finished and dry. Pigments applied sooner would smear under the later applications.
