The neutral gray Finnish WWII Army Harmaa N: 01 Grey from the Lifecolor acrylic line was created for Finnish vehicles of the Second World War. On a model it is at the same time the most usable starting tone wherever a surface is meant to read as polished steel.
Responsibility details are not available.
Harmaa is simply gray in Finnish, and in the Finnish army coding of the period it carries the number 01. The shade was therefore created for Finnish vehicles and artillery of the Second World War, but its usefulness reaches further. A neutral gray with neither a blue nor a brown cast is the best starting tone for everything that is meant to look like steel on a model and yet is not meant to be glossy.
The running gear is where the impression of metal either comes off or falls apart. The wheels, the idler wheel and the faces of the track the vehicle rides on are polished in service into a cold light tone that black comes nowhere near. A neutral gray captures such a burnished plate better than black and better than silver: applied in a thin layer with an almost dry brush over a darker base, it lifts only the highest points, and exactly that impression of a surface rubbing against the ground appears.
For the modeler building Finnish vehicles, and equally for anyone dealing with metal details on any vehicle at all. Reckon with the gray reacting to the ground more sensitively than rich colors do: on a glossy smooth base it appears darker and cooler, on a matte grainy surface lighter and softer. That very property can be used when one and the same gray is to create two different metals on a model.
