About product

The 4BO Shade

A paint from the Gunze Mr.Color range in the shade of Soviet protective green, which military equipment carried as a single-color base coat. The designation 4BO belongs to exactly this green; the shade's name also gives the year 1947. It is a dark green with an olive tint that looks earthy and rather brownish next to the brighter greens of other armies.

How to work with the paint

  • Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, or settled pigment will shift the shade.
  • Thin with thinner from the same range, not water; thinner from a different system can curdle the paint.
  • Apply several thin coats and let them tack up between passes.
  • Wash and degrease the model before painting; a coat will not hold on a greasy surface.
  • Let the paint fully cure before masking, not just dry to the touch, or the tape will lift the coat.
  • Work in a well-ventilated room.

What the shade is suitable for

A single-color green coat covered a large share of Soviet ground equipment — tanks, self-propelled guns, artillery tractors and trucks. Precisely because the surface is uniform, the result depends heavily on the work done after spraying: lighten the roofs and upper surfaces slightly, keep vertical walls darker, and unify the transitions with thin coats. The model then looks less like a tinted plastic shell and more like a machine standing in the sun.

Building and painting tips

Do a test spray on a scrap of plastic, not directly on the model; the shade darkens once dry and looks different on a large area than in the bottle. Coat the area with a gloss varnish before decals, then unify the surface with a matte one afterward.

The package contains only the paint. Thinner, brushes, an airbrush and the model are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. The Mr.Color range is thinned with thinner from the same range. The same thinner is also used to clean brushes and an airbrush.

It is Soviet protective green, which military equipment carried as a single-color base coat. It suits tanks, guns and trucks.

Yes, but it works best with an airbrush. With a brush, apply thin coats and avoid repeated strokes over tacky paint.

Only the bottle of paint. Thinner, brushes, an airbrush and the model are not included, unless stated otherwise.
