WWII German Aviation Acrylic Paints Set

ICM acrylic paint set — the Luftwaffe of the Second World War

A set of acrylic modeling paints from the Ukrainian brand ICM, put together for painting models of German aircraft of the Second World War period. It contains six shades in 12 ml bottles. These are water-thinnable paints with a semi-matte surface, suitable for applying by brush and by airbrush. It is not a kit and not an accessory for a build, but a consumable for painting. The manufacturer's part number is ICM 3014.

What the set is for

Paint sets put together on a single theme save both work and money: shades that belong together are bought as a group and do not have to be tracked down one by one. This one is aimed at the finishes of German wartime aircraft, that is at the combination of upper camouflage shades, a light underside and interior surfaces. It can be used in all the common aircraft scales, because the volume of a bottle is enough even for a larger model.

Use

• Shake the bottle thoroughly before every use, as the pigment settles to the bottom
• For the airbrush, thin the paint as the manufacturer recommends and spray thin coats
• On a smooth primer coat the paint holds better and the coverage is more even
• Close the container right after work, as acrylic dries on the rim and gets in the way of the lid

Who the set is for

For modelers who build German aircraft of the Second World War and want the matching shades together in one package. It is suitable for beginners too, because water-thinnable acrylic cleans up easily and calls for no aggressive solvents. Work in a ventilated space and protect your airways when spraying.

The paints are supplied in the package in the volume stated. The thinner and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
