AK Interactive March Releases..

This six colour set allows you to paint the sand coloured paint schemes as seen on vehicles recently deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. The set includes the Grey-sand used by U.S. troops, the yellow-sand of the British Army, the Iraqi army sand colour and the three colours of the Bundeswehr camouflage in desert theatres.  The colours within each bottle are true to the actual colour, with a little modification for scale effect.  The formula of these acrylic paints are designed for use by both to airbrush and brush and are odourless and water soluble. Our acrylics are manufactured by AK Interactive and are made with a formula that prevents clogging in the airbrush.

Water based thinner especially designed for use with AK-Interactive acrylics.  Our non-toxic, low-odour thinner is also compatible for use with other brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya or Lifecolor paints.  Not just the typical alcohol and water based thinner, our specially formulated product is ideal for creating the perfect paint consistency for brush and airbrush.  Please remember to shake well before using.

Their Waterborne polymer primer is available in a versatile Neutral Gray colour that is perfect for use as a basis for any colour.   Its superb adhesion qualities combined with a matt-satin finish make our primer the perfect choice for preparing models for painting.  Only a light layer of primer is required for full, effective coverage; insuring that every surface detail remain crisp and clean.

Their Waterborne polymer primer is available in a Dark Yellow colour that is perfect for painting WWII German tanks or sand colour vehicles.  Its superb adhesion qualities combined with a matt-satin finish make our primer the perfect choice for preparing models for painting.  Only a light layer of primer is required for full, effective coverage; insuring that every surface detail remain crisp and clean.
