Review by Geoff Coughlin (Sep 2012)
Our thanks to The Airbrush Company Ltd for supplying our review sample. Get this set here.
Water soluble acrylic colours for modelling and hobby. Lifecolor is excellent for paint brushing or airbrushing on plastic and resin.
Here’s an authentic colour set to help you to recreate Israeli Armour subjects by using a bespoke set. We have various HD videos and help in your Techniques Bank here in SMN but new variations on a theme continue to emerge and here’s another manufacturer offering a painting and weathering solution using pigments. One useful aspect here is you don’t need to go rooting through all your paint pots trying to locate all the colours you need and then one that are compatible – it’s all here in one box and this must be attractive?
We’ll be looking for an opportunity to try out this pigment/paint combo, so keep an eye out in your Armour Techniques bank areas of SMN for that.
In this latest paint set from Lifecolor there are 6 bottles – 3 pigments and 3 paints:
- PG 101 Golan Earth
- PG 102 Sinai Sand
- PG 103 Lebanon Dust
- UA 901 IDF Sandgrey 1
- UA 902 IDF Sandgrey 2
- UA 903 IDF Green
Using Lifecolor:
- Clean surfaces to be painted
- For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or Lifecolor Thinner.
- Airbrush at very low pressures. (Iwata airbrushes give the excellent performance and atomisation at low pressures.)
- Apply colour in thin coats with a brush or airbrush
- Allow to dry completely between coats
- Clean your airbrush with airbrush cleaner and flush through with water
