AMMO by Mig Jimenez
US Navy Helicopters Set
Acrylic Set for Aircraft
Item No. A-Mig 7250

AMMO’s latest addition to their aircraft paint range is a set of six colours used on the exterior of US Navy helicopters.

The colours in this set cover not only camouflage colours but also high visibility White.

Here’s what AMMO has to say about this set:

“This set includes the necessary colours to paint the mythical SH-2 Seasprite, SH-3 Sea King or SH-60 Seahawk, and many others. These colours are accurately and slightly lightened for scale reduction effect on any kit. Includes four colours in 17 mL bottles. All products are acrylic, have been formulated for maximum performance with either brush or airbrush and are water-soluble, odourless, and non-toxic. Shake well before each use. Each jar includes a stainless steel agitator to facilitate mixture. We recommend A.MIG-2000 Acrylic Thinner for correct thinning. Dries completely in 24 hours.”

The paints are acrylic. The bottles are squeezable plastic. They are capped with a screw-top plastic lid.

The twelve plastic bottles are packed securely in a single cardboard trays inside an end-opening  cardboard box.

The specific AMMO paints included are:

• A.MIG-0047 ACRYLIC COLOR Satin White
• A.MIG-0208 ACRYLIC COLOR FS-36320 Dark Compass Ghost Gray
• A.MIG-0209 ACRYLIC COLOR FS-36495 Light Gray

• A.MIG-0227 ACRYLIC COLOR FS-25042 Sea Blue (ANA 606)
• A.MIG-0241 ACRYLIC COLOR FS 36440 Light Gull Grey

Of course, these colours are not exclusively used on helicopters. Most of these colours will be relevant for US Navy aircraft and some for Air Force colours as well.

Figures Set
Waffen SS Spring Camo. German Einchenlaubmuster Set
Item No. A.MIG-7043

Here’s a very useful set for anyone who paints German WWII figures. This is Item No. A.MIG-7043 in their Figures Set series, Waffen SS Spring Camo. German Einchenlaubmuster.

Here’s what AMMO has to say about the set:

“This pack includes the six colours required to paint the distinctive and complex German Eichenlaubmuster in the spring variation. It was used by Waffen SS units from 1941 (Oak Leaf A) and 1943 (Oak Leaf B) until the end of World War II. Most of the garments were reversible, with spring camouflage on one side and autumn camouflage on the other. These colours have been selected through rigorous research to ensure accuracy when creating highlights, adding volume, and define details.”

The six acrylic paints are:

• AMMO. F-532 FIGURES PAINTS Red Brown

• AMMO. F-533 FIGURES PAINTS Dark Brown

• AMMO. F-534 FIGURES PAINTS Olive Green

• AMMO. F-555 FIGURES PAINTS Lime Green

They are packed in a cardboard box with a white cardboard tray.

The rear of the box contains a nice big images of a painted figure with a guide to what colour goes where.

The paints themselves are contained in a familiar shaped squeezable plastic bottle with screw cap. They have a metal rattle ball inside to make sure the paint will be thoroughly mixed after shaking the bottle.

This new uniform painting set from AMMO by MIG Jimenez will be useful to armour and figure modellers.

All the paints are also available separately.
