FRENCH ARMY GREY-BLUE (GRIS/BLEU MOYEN CLAIR A625)

AK interactive French Army Grey-Blue (Gris/Bleu Moyen Clair A625): acrylic paint, 17 ml

A water-based acrylic paint from the AFV Series modeling range of the Spanish manufacturer AK interactive. The Gris/Bleu Moyen Clair A625 shade is a lighter gray-blue, which the manufacturer places among the colors of the modern French army. French ground vehicles use a multi-color camouflage scheme in which the gray-blue complements the green and brown elements and breaks up the outline of the vehicle. The A625 designation comes from the French army color coding given in the product name itself. The paint comes in a 17 ml bottle and leaves a flat surface once dry.

Use

• It is applied with a brush and with an airbrush; for the airbrush it is thinned with water or the same maker's acrylic thinner.
• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles when it stands for a while.
• The best coverage comes from two or three thin coats over a degreased surface treated with a primer.
• In a multi-color scheme, apply the gray-blue element after the green base color, as it is easier to keep the edges of the camouflage fields sharp that way.
• Do not thin a water-based acrylic with lacquer or enamel thinners, because the two chemistries do not get along.

Who the paint is for

For modelers of modern French ground vehicles who want to capture the multi-color camouflage faithfully, and for collectors of NATO-country colors. The shade also serves as a general light gray-blue for painting accessories and scenery. A water-based acrylic handles brush and airbrush alike and needs no aggressive thinners.

The paint is intended for modeling use. Keep it out of the reach of children, do not swallow it, and when spraying ensure adequate ventilation and respiratory protection. Close the bottle carefully after use and protect it from frost.
