WWII Aircraft armament acrylic paints set

ICM: a set of acrylic paints for Second World War aircraft armament

A themed set of acrylic modeling paints from the Ukrainian manufacturer ICM. According to the name it targets the armament features of aircraft models from the Second World War period, that is, the parts that are painted differently from the airframe. The acrylic binder is thinned with water or acrylic thinner, so working with it is comfortable even in an apartment with no extraction.

Use

• Painting the small parts of the armament and setting them apart from the rest of the model
• Brush work and, once thinned, work with an airbrush
• Combination with acrylic varnishes and weathering products
• Adding technical and metallic tones to the model's base palette

Tips for working with acrylics

Prepare the surface with a primer; on smooth, glossy plastic acrylic holds less well and peels when masked. Stir the paint thoroughly before use and apply it in several thin layers; one heavy layer floods the engraving and the fine detail disappears. Always thin the paint for an airbrush, since thick acrylic straight from the bottle will reliably block the nozzle. Let the finished coat cure properly, and only then mask or overpaint. Wash the brushes out right after work, as dried acrylic is hard to remove.

Who the set is for

For builders of aircraft models who want the carried armament and the metal parts set apart in color and do not want to assemble the shades bottle by bottle. Check the particular shades, their number and the volume of the package against the figures on the packaging.

Keep the paints out of reach of children. Make sure of adequate ventilation when spraying.
