Pipette for mixing colors 1ml 1pcs

MH models, a pipette for mixing paints, 1 ml (1 piece)

The pipette for mixing paints from MH models is sold singly and has a volume of 1 ml. To be clear at once: it is not a paint; it is an aid with which you draw paint, thinner or a wash out of a bottle and transfer it to a mixing cup or to the cup of an airbrush.

A smaller volume means finer dosing

This is the substantive difference from the more common 3 ml pipettes. A smaller body draws a smaller amount, so you dose in finer measures and hit small amounts more accurately. That comes in handy when you adjust a shade by one drop darker, mix only as much paint as a given panel really takes, or are working with a thinner you do not want to waste. For filling an airbrush quickly with a larger dose, on the other hand, a pipette with a greater volume is more practical.

Use

• fine dosing of paint and thinner when adjusting a shade
• mixing small batches to a noted ratio, so that a shade can be repeated
• dosing washes and liquid effects in small amounts
• topping up paint in the cup of an airbrush while spraying

Who it is for

For modelers who mix their own shades and want to keep them under control. A ratio measured out and noted down is the only way to come back to the same tone even a month later, for instance when a model is being finished in stages or a repaired place is being oversprayed. Being sold singly suits you when you only want to try a pipette out or to top up the one that is missing in the workshop.

A pipette is a consumable aid, and with dried paint inside it is easier to replace than to clean. What carries risk is not the pipettes themselves but the liquids they are used with: use paints, thinners and cleaners in a ventilated space, follow the instructions on their packaging and keep them out of reach of children. The package contains no paint.
