WWII Regia Aeronautica Late Colours Paint Set (A.MIG-7238)

AMMO of Mig Jiménez

 

 

This six-paint set arrives in a card box with a new card inner tray (for easy recycling), with some colour use suggestions printed on the rear (see below).  Inside are six bottles, each containing 17ml of paint that is dispensed by a dropper found under the yellow screw-top cap.  Inside each bottle is a little stirring ball that rattles when agitated.  AMMO paints separate quite readily as you can see from the box photo, so having a ball in the bottle makes mixing them a lot easier.  We’re all familiar with the quality of AMMO paints by now, and they have a pretty good reputation amongst us modellers, and dry a little slower than some of the competition, which can be useful to avoid paint drying on the tip of your needle when spraying.

 

 

The paints are as follows:

 

A.MIG-0202 FS30219 Tan (Nocciola Chiaro 4)

A.MIG-0276 Verde Oliva Scuro 2

A.MIG-0262 IJN Ash Grey (Grigio Azzuro Chiaro 1)

A.MIG-0275 Giallo Mimetico 3

A.MIG-0070 Medium Brown (Marrone Mimetico 53193)

A.MIG-0023 Protective Green (Verde Mimetico 53192)

 

 

 

Conclusion

It’s great to be able to get sets of paint that will set you up to paint a late war Italian aviation project in one hit with just the addition of some white and black to assist you with modulation if that’s your methodology.  The paints are rich with pigment, brushing and spraying well with many adherents to the brand from all walks of modelling life.

 

Highly recommended.

I understand the colour suggestions are just that, suggestions... however a subject using the Giallo / Verde / Bruno Mimetico colours would not have the lower surfaces in the same grey used on the later schemes but would have featured these in the previous Grigio Mimetico or even in the older aluminum paint.
