LifeColor MASSTER 1970/80 US Army Camouflage Scheme - 4 Colour Acrylic Paint Set

LifeColor paints are water based acrylic colours for modelling and hobby painting. They are excellent for both paint brushing and airbrushing onto plastic, resin, metal, vinyl, wood, cloth and ceramic. This wide range of paints includes basic gloss and matt colours and mimetic, based on the Federal Standard 595b correspondence and each label shows the equivalent FS number. The range offers many paints grouped into convenient sets for specific subjects, including tanks, aircraft, uniforms/figures, ships, railways and weathering. The "MASSTER" camouflage was an experimental scheme, predecessor of the MERDC scheme, developed in the early 1970s and used by the units of United States Army Europe (USAREUR) through the late 1980s. It consisted in a disruptive sharps of Earth Red UA 306 FS 30117, Green UA 307 (same as UA 006) FS 34127, Sandgrey UA 308 (same as UA 020) FS 30372 and Black LC 02 FS 37038. Using LifeColor: - Clean surfaces before painting - For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or LifeColor Thinner. - Airbrush at low pressures between 10 – 20 psi. (Iwata airbrushes give the best 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 LifeColor Cleaner or Medea Airbrush Cleaner and flush through with water
