WWI GERMAN FOKKER GREY – AIR

WWI German Fokker Grey, an acrylic paint from the AK interactive aircraft range

A water-thinnable acrylic modeling paint from the aircraft range of AK interactive. The shade carries the name Fokker Grey and is aimed at German aircraft of the First World War, on which gray tones appeared on the fabric covering as well as on the metal parts of the airframe. It is not a lacquer or an enamel, so it is thinned with water or with the acrylic thinner of the same maker and must not be mixed with lacquer ranges. A water-thinnable acrylic cleans up easily, smells less than solvent paints and dries fast, so it is comfortable to work with even in a flat.

Use

• A base coat for the surfaces of First World War aircraft in a gray tone
• Applied with a brush and with an airbrush; always thin the paint for an airbrush
• Stir the bottle thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles to the bottom
• Onto a smooth, degreased base, ideally over a suitable primer
• Go over it with a gloss varnish compatible with acrylics before the decals

Who it is for

For aircraft modelers who build machines from the First World War and want a shade straight from the period palette instead of mixing it from ordinary grays. It suits plastic models and small accessories alike. Gray is also rewarding for gradual lightening of surfaces, because shadows and transitions show up well on it.

Do not mix the paint with enamel or lacquer products, keep it out of the reach of children, and ventilate and wear a respirator when spraying.
