Frequently asked questions
Why does bleu horizon come in so many versions?
Because the cloth changed through the war and greyed as it faded. Paint a whole unit from one base and handle the differences with highlights instead.
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.
