Acrylic Paint Set - ATOM #German Marineflieger Acrylic Paint Set (6 x20ml)

ATOM German Marineflieger - a set of acrylic paints (6 x 20 ml)

A set of acrylic modeling paints from the ATOM line by AMMO of Mig Jimenez. The box states six bottles of 20 ml and the subject of the machines of the Marineflieger, the air arm of the German Navy. ATOM is a water-based paint, which the manufacturer formulated for brush as well as airbrush and which dries to a matte surface.

Use

• With a brush straight from the bottle; for an airbrush, thin it with the acrylic thinner of the same manufacturer to the consistency of milk.
• The paint levels itself as it dries, so no brush marks are left on the large surfaces of the wings.
• Seal the matte paint with a gloss coat before the decals, otherwise a white carrier film will appear under the decal.
• Stir the bottle before every filling of the cup, as the pigment settles at the bottom.
• Do not thin it with lacquer or cellulose thinner; it takes only water and acrylic thinner.

Who it is for

For modelers interested in the machines of German naval aviation. Its aircraft changed from the 1950s onward, from the F-104G Starfighter fighter-bombers through the Tornado IDS to Sea King helicopters and patrol aircraft over the North Sea and the Baltic, so the set aims at a subject that is hard to find in a single box of paints. Six bottles of 20 ml will do for several models in 1:72 and for one larger piece. The particular shades are not listed by name here; the description on the bottles and the period documentation for the machine you are building are what count.

Ventilate the room and protect your airways when spraying with an airbrush. Keep out of the reach of children.
