Weathering Oils AK Interactive
Continuing their apparent goal to dominate the weathering market AK Interactive have released six new weathering oils. They look like they’re designed mainly for the maritime modeller, although they could probably be used in numerous other applications. Each colour comes in an orange 20ml tube, with the name of the colour printed in white, which makes it very difficult to read.
The six colours are:- AK-500 – Light Grey Highlight
AK-501 – Dark Grey fading
AK-502 - Shadows for Grey ships.
AK- 503 - Light Rust
AK-504 – Dark Rust
AK-505 – Black Smoke
These are artist quality oils with a very fine pigment and can be used individually or mixed together or with other oil paints to create the desired colours. The greys can be used to create highlights or change the tone of an area on a grey background, whilst the rusts are ideal for rust effects, or change the tone of an oxidised area. The black smoke is ideal for smoke effects or used to accent the dark washes used in shadowed/obscure areas of a model. Conclusion
This is another great batch of weathering oils from AK Interactive. The fineness of the pigments makes them easy to thin down and not look gritty or lumpy when used. Recommended Review sample courtesy of
