Product overview

A six-bottle 3rd Generation acrylic set from AK Interactive's Figure Series for WWI German figures. AK prints one uniform ladder — Extra Dark Green (Shadow), Dark Green Grey (Base), Faded Green (Lights) — for what its own text calls the characteristic Field Grey uniform, the same name AK gives its WW2 Field Grey box. The set's distinguishing feature is the helmet scheme: the back panel diagrams the typical WWI helmet camouflage, calling out Tenebrous Grey, Saddle Brown, Sahara Yellow and Dark Green Grey again. Six matt acrylics in 17 ml bottles.

  • Set contains (6 × 17 ml): Extra Dark Green (Shadow), Dark Green Grey (Base), Faded Green (Lights), Saddle Brown, Sahara Yellow and Tenebrous Grey
  • AK's printed structure: uniform ladder shadow AK11153 → base AK11133 → light AK11135, with the swatch strip bracketing only those three as "Uniform"; the helmet diagram calls out AK11026, AK11104, AK11040 and AK11133 again
  • Shares AK11153 Extra Dark Green with AK11627 Field Grey (Feldgrau) Uniforms and AK11628 DAK Soldier Uniform Colors — one bottle, the shadow tone in each
  • We stock all six colours separately as 17 ml singles
  • Matt finish; made in Spain

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.

Excellent set for modellers starting out figure painting

Very happy with this acrylic paint set. Being a waterbased paint there are no harmful fumes or odours. It's a perfect start to laying down those initial base colours. To darken or lighten tones simply mix with other AK acrylic paints or other compatible brands like humbrol or vallejo. However, check your current stash of paints as some colours in this set are from AK's standard range.
