Grey is not one colour, and on a large model that shows most – a hull painted in a single shade reads as an unrendered wall. These six run from Pale Grey to Dark Sea Grey and differ not only in value but in temperature: Grey Green and Grimy Grey are warm, Sky Grey and Neutral Grey cold. Alternating panels between shades is what gives a hull scale and depth.

FAQ
How do I do panelling?
Pick a base shade and paint a few neighbouring panels one step lighter and darker. The difference should be barely visible – after a wash and pigments it comes out exactly as far as it should.
Does the set suit historical ships?
Yes. Dark Sea Grey and Neutral Grey sit close to common naval tones, so warship and submarine greys come out of it too.
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.
