Modern French Armed Forces Colours – Smart Set
AMMO of Mig Jiménez

There has been an increase in new toolings of French armour subjects of late, which AMMO have picked up on, releasing this new Smart Set to supply all the major colours you will need for their vehicles. The shades have been formulated following extensive research on the proper colours, and allowing for a slight lightening due to the scale effect of aerial perspective washing out colours the further away from the object the viewer is.

The set is supplied in a deep clamshell box, with four 17ml dropper-top bottles with yellow caps nestling within. Each bottle also has a ball-bearing inside to assist in mixing the paint by shaking, which is key with most paints, but especially acrylics.

The paints are as follows:

A.MIG-046 Matt Black
A.MIG-060 Pale Green
A.MIG-061 Warm Sand-Yellow
A.MIG-064 Earth Brown

This will allow you to create both the temperate and desert schemes that are worn by French vehicles in modern theatres. As with other AMMO paints, they are the same formulation, and can be used with airbrush or traditional paint brushes. Very useful for my recent VBL review here.

Highly recommended.

wonder if that warm sand yellow would be good for British WWII desert vehicles....
