I want to lightly weather the 109.I was just on the AK site and saw these products,thought they might be good for the NATO camo.
Any thoughts or comments surely welcome.
AK NATO vehicle wash
AK NATO filter
AK track and wheel set
AK thinner
What do you guys think?

Leon, AK Nato Wash and filter would be nice compliments for this and any number of other builds....ANY of these effect can be used for many many things! The Track set is excellent( I sleep with this one under my pillow)  ! The rubber tire color is outstanding for painting wheels as it the Track colors for...go figure...tracks!! LOL!! The dusting effects in this set work well. If you wanted/needed to hold off on this set for a bit, you could get away with one of the AK dust effects AB'ed or brush applied, oils or even a light misting of thinned Tamiya deck tan. BUT...if you have the option to add this kit to your stash....do it! One of their best!! AK thinner...great! This is designed for acrylics....true acrylics. Nothing against Vallejo, as I use them too, but they are more latex based than acrylic...hence the "rubbery" feel when it peels. The thinner works with all of the "acrilyc" brands from what I can tell....Vallejo, Tamiya, Badger, Life Color and of course AK. You will need to test it out with each and see how much and when to use it depending on the conditions where you paint. |

Sounds like a plan....the other option is Iain at AK USA...CT. Usually get stuff within 2 days. Either way...RF or AK, you can't go wrong!!
