Armored and Vehicles NATO and Modern Armor Set #1 6 bottles (Airbrush-ready) tcps-10703 SPECIAL ORDER ONLY
This special order paint set includes six bottles of airbrush-ready Tru-Color Paint specifically formulated for NATO and modern armor modeling. The acrylic 'hot' paint features a unique combination of acetone and other media, creating a high-performance base for detailed and realistic finishes.
- Six 1/2 oz bottles of airbrush-ready acrylic paint
- Formulated with acetone and additional media for optimal flow and adhesion
- Thin consistency ideal for airbrush application
- Flat colors designed for fine detail and model accuracy
- Special order shipping, typically fulfilled within 4-8 days
Compared to industry standard paints, this NATO and Modern Armor Set offers superior airbrush readiness without the need for excessive thinning. The paint dries to a consistent flat finish favored by military modelers and provides excellent coverage on plastic and resin kits. Unlike typical brush paints, these airbrush-ready colors deliver smooth, even coats with minimal effort, making it easier to achieve professional results.
Key Technical Advantages: This paint formula provides enhanced flow thanks to its acetone-based blend, making it ideal for airbrush techniques common in scale armor painting. Ventilation is recommended due to solvent fumes, yet they are less potent than comparable products like the former Floquil line. Tru-Color’s specialized thinner and rejuvenator maintain paint quality by restoring proper solvent balance if evaporation occurs during storage. Additionally, the soft plastic bottles allow users to easily adjust solvent levels for consistent spraying results.
Shipping is handled via surface mail options such as USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground to ensure safe delivery of these specialty orders. Due to shipping restrictions, orders over 1.5 lbs or those containing spray cans require ground shipping services. Ordering this paint set separately from other merchandise can help reduce total shipping costs.
