Japanese Brown is a dark brown with a subtle olive undertone – the shade of Japanese WWII vehicles and uniforms. Outside that scheme it works as a muted earthy brown.

Can it be used outside Japanese schemes?
Easily. It is a muted earthy brown that suits fantasy clothing, canvas and bases.
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.
