Abteilung 502 Emerald Green is an artist-grade modelling oil in a 20 ml tube. AK describes it as a vibrant, striking tone for highlighting details and creating standout effects on figures, and recommends it for stippling and mottling on dark green tones and camouflages. As part of the ABT 502 range it uses a lower-oil formula for a more matte finish, with the slow drying typical of oils giving extended working time for edge highlights, foliage effects and controlled blends.

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.
