UA825 - DMU Green Late

DMU Green Late, a shade for British railroad vehicles

DMU Green Late is a modeling paint from a coherent Lifecolor range devoted entirely to the finishes of British railroad vehicles. It is a green shade from the railroad range whose name carries the designation DMU just as the maker gives it. The attribute Late is a distinguishing fact: it marks the later of the pair of periods of the same finish.

What the shade covers

Green finishes are a chapter of their own with British railroad vehicles. The same color shifted over time, and the range therefore keeps several green shades side by side, so that a modeler can choose the one that fits the reference. The differences between them tend to be small at first glance, but over the large area of the side of a vehicle they show fully, especially when two models stand side by side. Before you reach for a bottle, then, work out from your reference which of the variants you want. The shade finds use on the main areas of a 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 designation Late distinguishes the period of the finish, not the size or the package of the shade.
• Look for the complementary colors of the finish in the same railroad range.

Who the color is for

It is intended for modelers of British railroads and builders of layouts who build to a particular reference and want their green shades distinguished. It will also serve collectors who repaint production models.

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