Mig Ammo Modern Russian Set

[Tojo72]

Picked it up for my BTR-80 and T-90.Was able to make good use of it so far with my Iwata Eclipse Gravity fed Brush.A few drops went a long way,covered nice over Mr Surfacer Primer,and cleaned up easy.Just did some of the smaller pieces.We will see how it handles the overall painting and camo .

Good to hear you liked the paint. I'm going to be giving the Ammo stuff a go soon I think. Everyone seems to like it.

Tried it on my T-80 last year and wasn't a fan. Same problems as with all the other acrylics...to get as thin as I like means runniness, color separation, and other headaches.

Thanks for the heads up.So far on the small stuff okay.I will try to experiment with the camo pattern 1st

I had pretty good luck with the khaki green for the base coat - the bigger issues came in 1) dealing with the lighter colors and 2) freehand camoflage. I'll give them another go at some point, but maybe not for complicated camo schemes (save as basecoats)

I just sprayed my PanzerIIIN Turret with AMMO by MIG paint and all I can say is I am switching to these where possible. It sprayed beautifully for me without a single incidence of tip drying on the entire turret. I must warn you though that this is not for beginners or the impatient. Please watch the attached video and pay attention to it. If you let just a little too much out at once it separates and looks horrible. If you are patient and spray in very thin layers it is great.

Here is my first try with the paint. The color is not really that mustard color just my camera.
