The colors have been chosen with the help and advice of the best model painters from different countries. The Model Color program contains a huge range of colors and also has an interesting collection of mediums and varnishes specially designed for Miniature and Model Painting. The Model Color formula consists of permanent pigments for detailed work; This light grey-blue color is also completely lightfast and opaque, with the exception of the fluorescent and transparent colors that are semi-opaque.
Errors can be corrected with water or a little alcohol, provided this is done immediately. The light grey-blue color can easily be applied with a brush and dried to a matte result. Professional model painters always work with a wet brush and dilute the paint with water and matte medium, then apply it in several thin layers to simulate depth and shadows. The consistency of Model Color ensures an extremely smooth and tight paint film without any traces of brush strokes.
The unique thing about this light grey-blue paint is that it is supplied in a so-called "eyedropper" jar containing 18 ml. acrylic paint. The "eyedropper" (or eye dropper) ensures that the amount of paint can be dosed very easily and the paint does not dry out so quickly. Of course, it can always happen that the opening sometimes becomes a little clogged. You can easily solve this by using a needle or thin cocktail stick to clear the opening.
