Cadmium Red is a strong, vibrant dark-red artist oil from Abteilung 502, AK Interactive's modelling-specific oil range. AK positions it as a pure red for both direct use and mixing: applied straight it gives bold red elements, and blended it produces controlled red nuances, shades and combinations of reds. It appears in AK's Naval & Grey Effects set as the colour that adds chromatic richness over otherwise monotonous grey base tones. The reduced-oil ABT 502 formula dries matt with long working time.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
