Eighteen Napoleonic uniform colours selected by historian Gabriele Esposito. 18 × 17 ml, two metallics included.

Gabriele Esposito is a uniformologist – a military historian specialising in precisely how uniforms actually looked. He writes the 'Armies of History' series for AK, and this set is his selection of eighteen shades for the Napoleonic period. These are not invented colours: there are three blues because French, Prussian and Russian blue were three different shades, and two reds because British and Austrian differed.

FAQ

Why three blues?
Because the Napoleonic armies had no single blue. Imperial Blue suits French uniforms, Dark Prussian Blue the Prussian, and Medium Blue the lighter variants. Confusing them is the commonest mistake in painting the period.

Are metallics included?
Yes, two – Natural Steel and Old Gold. Napoleonic figures carry a lot of metal: helmets, epaulettes, buttons and weapons, so they are part of the selection.

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.
