French Uniform Colours Figure Series Set

A set of AK interactive acrylic paints for French uniforms

This set from the AK interactive figure line holds six acrylic paints in bottles of 17 ml. These are water-thinnable acrylics intended for painting figures, that is for brushwork with gradual layering. The shades can be used on their own or mixed with one another, which gives a range of transitions for the shadows and highlights on the cloth of a uniform. In its theme the set covers the uniforms of the French army in various theaters of the First and Second World Wars, including supplementary tones for leather equipment.

Use

• The base coat and the shading of French uniforms on figures.
• Mixing your own intermediate tones for smooth transitions on the folds of the cloth.
• Painting leather equipment, straps, pouches and footwear.
• Supplementing with further shades for helmets and gear that are not in the set.
• Use on figures in the usual modeling scales and in dioramas.

Who the set is for

For modelers who devote themselves to figures and dioramas of the period of both world wars and want their shades matched in one chemistry. The set also makes a start easier for those who are beginning with figures and do not want to look for the shades one at a time. Both the text and the product are meant purely in historical and modeling terms, as an aid to depicting a period uniform faithfully.

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Keep out of the reach of children and ventilate during longer work. Remove dried paint from brushes with an acrylic cleaner, not with an aggressive solvent.
