The Weathering Aircraft 25 - Acrylics (Spanish)
AMMO of Mig Jimenez 5125SP

Issue 25 of The Weathering Aircraft is here. This time the focus is on painting with acrylics, arguably the most widely used type of paint for model aircraft. Now, especially with the new ATOM products, the process of painting and weathering our models has been revolutionised. Acrylics are easy to use, allowing modelers to achieve very realistic results with less effort. In addition, the durability of acrylics means that we can work on them with other types of paints and weathering products. Modellers can work on their projects without worrying about strong odours or health risks associated with harsh chemicals. In addition, the compatibility of AMMO acrylics with other products expands our creative possibilities.

Acrylics can also be used to achieve incredible weathering effects. The ability to blend and overlap without losing their qualities allows the creation of layers of effects, from subtle rust stains to the most intense weathering. The acrylic effects range includes paint, washes, filters, varnishes, etc. This covers all needs as well as others with lacquer or enamel bases.

In this issue, we show everything you need to know about acrylics using a wide variety of very interesting and popular examples, such as a heavily weathered Soviet Mi-24 Hind, a Ukrainian Su-27 Flanker with a modern digital camouflage scheme, a true legend like the Messerschmitt Bf 109G, the US F-105G Republic Thunderchief from the Cold War, a crashed Hawker Hurricane in North Africa, and JU-87G STUKA in 1/35th scale. We have tried to show the most basic acrylic products with which the best results can be obtained, such as primers, normal and metallic colours, filters, washes, Shaders, drybrush colours, etc. In this way, everyone will be able to choose what best suits their personal preferences. For this, as always, we have the help of some of the best aviation modellers from all over the world to guide us step by step through the different processes.
