GUNZE PRODUCTS - WEATHERING

BASICS

CAT.NO.: WY04

WY04 is a weathering paint set that can be used on various

military models including tanks. This set of paints can replicate

basic oil stains, chipped paint, and rust. Thin each color with the

separately-sold Mr. Weathering Colour Thinner (WCT101/102);

or MIG015 thinner (YAKUMO thinner).

Most German military vehicles showed certain universal

weathering effects, no matter the setting or time of the year. Tanks

or half-tracks usually showed chipped paint, rust effects, or large

areas of fuel stains soaked into caked dust or dirt over top. These

are the weathering effects that bring more life and realism to the

model, and that is the reason why you must pay special attention

when adding them. This universal set will allow you to create

extremely realistic effects on your models, no matter the location

or time of the year in which they are set. The colours and effects

are accurate for the cold Russian winter, the Normandy campaign

or the barren landscapes of the North Africa. Always use this set

in combination with one of the YAKUMO sets for military vehicles

in a specific setting.
