The important thing to know then is of course the Vehicle or transport medium as this will tell us more about the paint’s properties but also and most importantly, what we need to use for thinning and clean up. The word “acrylic” seems to have become synonymous with water based paints but in fact many modern paints contain acrylic polymers as their binder and this is why it’s so confusing. It’s tricky as some paint manufacturers complicate this by using the word Acrylic that may appease government agencies restricting solvent paints but who allow water based products for example. Vehicle - is the transport for the mix of the above to travel from the bottle to the model and then evaporate. We need something to help them stick to the surface and that is the…īinder - is the substance that (hopefully!) keeps the pigment on the surface and is often an Acrylic Polymer. The whole tank is shown as straight kare-kusa with no markings at all.Pigments - this is the color part and they are fine powders that do not dissolve but are suspended in the paint. PS: Checked the instruction booklet and it doesn't show any markings on the prototype Type 5. I picked up Trumpeter's Chinese Type 62 light, which is basically the WoT WZ-131 last week, though now I notice WoT has the Type 62 as well. I think AK Interactive now also makes a Japanese paint set in acrylic.įunny, even though I've dropped out of WoT I love how much cool new stuff that's been brought onto the market due to the game. Gunze Sangyo makes a lacquer paint with it and the two camo colours as well. Vallejo makes an acrylic primer that should do the trick. I'll have to look at the instruction sheet when I get home but I do remember the prototype being painted all over Kare-Kusa (parched grass) which is a khaki/ light washed out olive drab colour with no camo. Really enjoyed the ones about how the M4 wasn't nearly the disaster Belton Cooper painted it out to be. I still run by the forum every now and again and read the Chieftain's Hatch. Oh wow, hello Chieftain! I played WoT for about a year but ended up dropping it about two years or so ago.
