Calvin Tan is among the most respected figure painters in the world, and this set is his selection of eighteen shades for German uniforms of the Second World War. It is not merely a feldgrau collection: it holds Waffen camouflage tones, a black uniform base, Splittermuster, and neutral shades for mixing. He states that he works to his own mixing ratios – the set is assembled to allow exactly that.

FAQ
Is the set usable beyond German uniforms?
Yes. The greens, ochres and neutrals work on any field uniform, and Rubber Black with Ivory are universal. The emphasis, though, is clearly historical.
How does it differ from the Josedavinci set?
Josedavinci is a universal colour palette for mixing anything. Calvin Tan is a specialised uniform selection – fewer saturated colours, more muted tones and camouflage shades.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
