Description

Art No: LC-CF08 – Splittermuster 31 German Uniforms Splinter Pattern Camouflage Scheme 4 x 22ml 

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 “Splittermuster” model, successor to the “Buntfarbendruck 31”, was introduced around 1935 and used on the shelter-half “Zeltbahn 31”, a triangular housing which, when buttoned together with three additional pieces, formed a tent for four people. The colouration of the two sides was different but both had the characteristic splinter pattern. This set contains Grey-Green Base UA 403, Green Spots UA 485, Brown Spots UA 412 and Rainmarks UA 466.

Using LifeColor

1. Clean surfaces before painting
2. For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or LifeColor Thinner.

5. Allow to dry completely between coats
6. Clean your airbrush with LifeColor Cleaner or Medea Airbrush Cleaner and flush through with water
