UA819 - Loco Green Early

Loco Green Early, a shade for British railroad vehicles

Loco Green Early is a modeling paint from a coherent Lifecolor range devoted entirely to the finishes of British railroad vehicles. The name of the shade is aimed at the green finish of locomotives. The attribute Early in the name is a distinguishing fact: the range contains two periods of the same finish and this is the first of them.

What the shade covers

The green finishes of locomotives have a special standing among modelers of British railroads, because the green shifted over time and two trains painted in what is called the same color need not look the same side by side. That is why the maker keeps two separate shades and leaves the decision to you. Before you reach for a bottle, then, work out from your reference which of the two periods you want to capture. The shade finds use on the body of a locomotive and on the areas that carry the main color of the finish.

Recommendations for use

• Stir the contents of the package thoroughly before use, so that the shade is even.
• Work in several thin coats rather than in one heavy one.
• Try the shade on an offcut or in a less visible place first.
• The designations Early and Late distinguish two periods, not two packages of the same shade.
• Look for the complementary colors of the finish in the same railroad range.

Who the color is for

The shade is intended for modelers of British railroads who build to a particular reference and want the finish tuned to the right form. It will also serve collectors who repaint production models into a scheme of their own.

Keep out of the reach of children and ventilate while working. Close the package carefully after use and store it upright.
