Rot (Rotbraun)-Red Brown RAL 8012 17 ml.

The color

A red-brown from the German RAL standard, carried under the number 8012. Compared with ordinary brown tones it has a noticeable red cast, so it stands out on a model even over a small area. It comes into its own on the brown parts of camouflage schemes, on surfaces with a hint of rust and on small elements meant to be set apart from their surroundings by a warm tone.

From the Real Colors range

The shade belongs to the Real Colors range from AK Interactive, that is to a palette derived from period color charts. It is an acrylic paint intended for modeling. The volume of the bottle is 17 ml.

How the shade behaves on a model

• Stir the paint thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles to the bottom.
• The strong red component shows mainly in a thin coat; over a dark surface the shade goes darker.
• A matte varnish softens the result, while a gloss one deepens it. Take that into account when choosing the tone.
• For a soft transition to lighter areas, spray at lower pressure and from a greater distance.
• Handle the thinner, the thinning ratio and the cleaning of tools according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Who it is for

Builders of ground equipment who need a warm brown for a camouflage scheme will reach for it, as will modelers of figures and accessories, where a red-brown suits leather and wooden elements. It also serves as a component when mixing shades of your own.
