About product

4BO Flashed Shade from Lifecolor

Brightened centers of large surfaces turn an evenly sprayed model into a model on which the scale is visible. This shade is the lighter position of the Soviet green 4BO and aims at exactly that step: it is applied inside flat panels, on the tops of armor plates and on the edges where in reality the most sun would fall.

Where it stands in the order of work

The sequence is unambiguous. A uniform ground, the main green tone over the whole model, the darkening of the hollows and only at the end this brightening. Apply it before the main tone and the effect is lost. It is laid on thinly and only within defined areas, so that the original tone stays visible around the edges and the transition is not sharp. In the same numbered line the brand also offers the dark variant 4BO Deep Shade, so light and shadow keep to one color family. Only once all three steps are finished does it make sense to start on weathering and dust.

Use

  • Brightening the centers of large surfaces on Soviet and Eastern vehicles.
  • Emphasizing the upper edges of the turret, the hull and the mudguards.
  • A smooth transition from the shadows to the lightest places in modulation.
  • The lighter position of the green for surfaces exposed to the sun.

Who the color is for

For modelers of Soviet and Eastern vehicles who work in layers and want their brightening in the same tone as the base. It serves on tanks in larger scales just as well as on small vehicles, where a uniform surface needs to be broken up optically.

Stir the bottle thoroughly before work, close it well after use and store the paint out of the reach of children.

FAQ

As the last color step, that is after the main tone and after the darkening of the hollows. Only then does weathering come into play.

In the middle of large surfaces, on the upper faces of armor plates and on the edges most exposed to the sun in reality. Never over the whole model.

Apply thinly and in several light steps from the center of the surface toward the edges, so that the original tone stays visible around the perimeter.

Yes, the brand also offers the dark variant 4BO Deep Shade in the same numbered line.
