Frequently asked questions
How does the Intense range differ from Standard?
Higher pigment concentration and purity – more saturated, better coverage. Their label has a yellow circle; Standard has an orange one.
Why does orange often look washed out on a model?
Because it went over too dark an undercoat, or was thinned with water. Intense shades ease that, but the rule still holds: a light base and thinning with medium.
How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
