An acrylic medium formulated with mica, which can be mixed with acrylic colors to create an iridescent lustre or applied by itself for a silvery iridescent effect.

Gloss Medium extends the colors, increases their fluidity and transparence, and softens the blending of brushstrokes. It heightens the flexibility of the colors, and their adhesion to the surface. Does not yellow or change tonality of the color. Can also be used as a binder for dry pigment.

The Modelcolor range contains over 200 colours and an extensive assortment of mediums and varnishes, designed especially for Miniature and Modelpainting. Those colours which have corresponding Federal Standard, Ral, and RLM equivalencies are so identified.

Modelcolor has been formulated with permanent pigments for fine arts; all colours are completely lightfast and opaque, (with the exception of the fluorescent and transparent colours, which are semi-opaque). A few metallic pigments (in an alcohol base) are included in the range, since these give a harder brilliance than the water based metallics.

The consistency of Modelcolor allows for an extremely smooth and uniform paintfilm, with no trace of brushstrokes. Professional model painters always work with a wet brush and dilute the paint with water or Mat Medium, applying many thin layers to achieve depth and shadows. Colours may also be diluted with other Mediums for glazes and layered applications.

The water based formula of Modelcolor has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but is not toxic, not flammable, and no noxious fumes. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or alcohol Modelcolor dries quickly to a matte, even and waterproof finish. Exact drying time depends on various factors although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the paint does not acquire its true permanence until several weeks after application.

Packaging:
Plastic bottles of 60ml with an eyedropper device which keeps paint from drying and prevents spills.
