UA836 - Rosso Fegato Chiaro Satin

Rosso Fegato Chiaro Satin, a Lifecolor acrylic paint with a silky gloss

An acrylic paint from the railroad range of the Lifecolor brand. The Italian name denotes a subdued dark red, and the word chiaro at the end specifies that this is its lighter rendering. The attribute Satin sets a silky gloss level. The shade belongs to the Italian-named, satin part of this railroad range.

A subdued red is not a signal red

Between a finish red and a signal red there is a yawning difference on a model. A signal tone is meant to be clean and conspicuous, whereas the finish red of large areas is subdued and inclines toward brown, or a whole vehicle would look like a plastic toy. That is precisely why it is worth reaching for a named shade from the railroad range and not for the first red from a basic set.

Where it finds use on a model

• The subdued red areas of the bodies of railroad vehicles.
• Finish schemes where the red is meant to look settled, not garish.
• The lighter variant where a dark red would close an area in.
• Completing the red part of the range's Italian-named shades.

Who the paint is for

For railroad modelers who distinguish between a finish and a signal red and want both in their palette. It will also be appreciated by modelers who build vehicles in larger scales, where any color that is too rich gives itself away at once as unbelievable over a large area.
