LUFTWAFFE COLORS 1960S 1970S

This set of four acrylics and one Xtreme Metal paint is essential for painting models of aircraft used by the German Air Force in 1960s and 1970s. It includes the basic camouflage colors used in the Norm 72 and Norm 76 schemes. Our paints are not only historically accurate and specially formulated with top quality components; they also have been designed taking into account the scale reduction effect*. Our acrylic paints are ready to use straight from the bottle; simply shake, and the paint is ready to go. Dilution is not necessary when airbrushing AK acrylic paints; however, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of our specially formulated thinner AK712. Useful for all acrylic paints, the AK712 improves the performance of the paint and is vastly superior to most other available thinners, resulting in a greater degree of coverage when applied by brush. The Xtreme Metal paints are high quality metallic colors developed with outstanding pigments, and especially formulated for the modeller to achieve the best results. Resistant to any kind of weathering, with ultra-high coverage power, high sheen, will not damage the plastic, and you can varnish without altering their glossiness. These are quite simply the highest quality metallic paints ever seen.

This set contains:

• AK2171 RAL 2005 Luminous Orange (Leuchtorange)
• AK2172 RAL 6014 Yellow Olive (Gelboliv)
• AK2173 RAL 7001 Silver Grey (Silbergrau)
• AK2174 RAL 7012 Basalt Grey (Basaltgrau)
• AK478 Xtreme Metal White Aluminium

*A model aircraft reflects less light than an actual full size aircraft; this means the color applied to the model must be of a lighter shade to look the same as the full sized version. If the same color tones were applied to each, the model would appear darker as it reflects less light.
