Soft-cover magazine 64 pages.
The 25th issue of The Weathering Aircraft is available now! This time focused in painting with acrylics, indisputably the most used paint type for aircraft models. Now, especially with the new ATOM products, the process of painting and weathering our models has been revolutionized. Acrylics are easy to use, which allow modellers to obtain highly realistic results with less effort. In addition, the durability of acrylics means we can work over them with other types of paints and weathering products. Modellers can work on their projects without worrying about strong odours or the health risks associated with harsh chemicals. In addition, the compatibility of AMMO acrylics with other products expands our creative possibilities.
Acrylics can be also used to achieve amazing weathering effects. The ability blend colors and build up layers without losing properties allows you to create layered effects, from subtle rust stains to the most intense wear and tear. The lines of acrylic effects include paint, washes, filters, varnishes, etc. This covers all your needs, just like with lacquer or enamel based weathering products.
In this issue, you are shown everything you need to know about acrylics using a wide variety of interesting and popular subjects, such as a heavily weathered Soviet Mi-24 Hind, a Ukrainian Su-27 Flanker sporting a modern digital camouflage scheme, a true icon like the Messerschmitt Bf 109G, the US Cold War F-105G Republic Thunderchief, a Hawker Hurricane crashed in North Africa, and JU-87G STUKA in 1/35 scale.
We have tried to show the most basic acrylic products with which you can obtain the best results, such as primers, regular colors and metallics, filters, washes, Shaders, dry brush colors, etc. In this way, everyone will be able to choose what best suits their personal preferences. For this, as always, we have the help of some of the best aircraft modellers in the world to guide us step by step through the processes.
In short, the best guide to introduce to you to the wonderful world of acrylics!
