Paint Mediums & Modelling Effects
- Retarders: Slow paint drying and help reduce tip dry during airbrushing. They’re particularly useful in warm or dry conditions.
- Plastic Putty: Fills gaps, seams and surface imperfections on models. Once dry, you can sand and shape the putty as required.
- Liquid Mask: Protects areas you want to leave unpainted. After painting, carefully remove the masking film to reveal the surface underneath.
- Chipping Medium: Helps create realistic chipped paint, scratches and worn finishes. As a result, you can add convincing weathering effects to models and vehicles.
- Decal Fix & Softener: Help position decals and improve their adhesion. In addition, decal softener helps decals conform to surface details and contours.
- Metal Medium: Contains mica particles that create an iridescent metallic effect. Mix it with acrylic colours or use it alone for a silvery finish.
- Matt, Gloss & Glaze Mediums: Adjust paint finish, transparency and flow. They also help you create smoother blends and different visual effects.
