Hataka Blue Line - gray-green, 10 ml

An acrylic modeling paint from the Polish maker Hataka, from the Blue Line range, in a gray-green shade, that is, in a tone on the border between green and gray. The name of the shade is French, which refers to period French color designations. Blue Line is a water-thinned acrylic with a high pigment content, tuned above all for brushing. The bottle holds 10 ml.

What the paint is thinned with

It is thinned with water or with acrylic thinner from the same maker, not with lacquer thinner. Do not confuse this range with the lacquer range from the same maker; the chemistry and the thinner are different. For the airbrush thinning is necessary, because the paint is deliberately thick. Add the thinner in small amounts; an over-thinned acrylic loses its covering power and pulls into beads on the model.

Use

• Stir the paint thoroughly before taking any out, as the pigment settles to the bottom.
• For the brush the paint can be used unthinned.
• For the airbrush, thin with water or with acrylic thinner from the same maker.
• A gray-green tone shifts easily, so always mix shades in reserve.

Who it is for

For modelers who paint with a brush and need a muted tone on the border between green and gray. It comes into its own on aircraft subjects, vehicles and small items of gear. The shade also suits gear, crates and small equipment, where a saturated green would look garish.

Keep out of the reach of children, close the bottle carefully after use, and when spraying ensure ventilation and use respiratory protection.
