LifeColor
Italian firm Lifecolor offers a large range of acrylic paint shades, available individually and in themed sets, as well as weathering products and its own instructional publications. The colours and themed sets cater for a wide range of subjects... such as Cold War Luftwaffe aircraft, US Navy and Royal Navy ship tones, and even Finnnish Air Force fighters.
GREEK AIRCRAFT COLOUR SETS
If you fancy building Greek fighters, recce aircraft or transports, Lifecolor's recently released acrylic paint sets are handy indeed.
POWERPLANT SHADES
Lifecolor's latest Perfect Metal paint set, Engines, will be highly useful for car modellers. CHRIS CLIFFORD road tests each shade by airbrushing.
CANVAS COLOURS
Paint manufacturer LifeColor is well-known for its sets of thoroughly researched hues, with this addition to its range covering Italian uniforms as worn during World War One.
METALLIC TONES
The second set in LifeColor’s Perfect Metal range is dedicated to those hues found on aircraft, whether that’s a natural metal finish or heat-stained sections around exhausts.
HIGHWAY TONES
Here’s a great set of acrylic paints for diorama builders, with six colours matched to various road/track/building shades, from mortar to asphalt and concrete.
PRIMARY COLOURS
Sometimes the simplest approach is the best, and that’s the case with LifeColor’s water-based acrylic Essential Basic and Primary Colors range – its initial release provides five shades plus a bottle of matt varnish (LC 27).
Devil dog and squid tones
Here’s an ideal accompaniment for kits of World War Two US Navy and US Marine Corps aircraft, with LifeColor’s set.
