AK Interactive 3rd Gen Figure Paint Set - Panzer Crew Black Uniforms Set (AK11622)

Painting a convincing scale black is one of the trickier jobs on the bench — too dark and it's a void with no form, too grey and it loses the menace it needs. This four-colour 3G set is built specifically for the black uniforms worn by German Panzer crews of the Heer and Waffen-SS.

What's in the box

• Base, shadow and highlight tones for black crew uniforms
• A fourth tone for subtle variation between figures
• Four 17ml dropper bottles, self-levelling matt acrylic

Best for

• Panzer crew and tank commander figures
• Any 1:35 or smaller-scale black uniform
• Keeping a whole crew's shading consistent

Lay the base, deepen the folds, catch the edges with the highlight — a crew that reads as properly turned out rather than four identical black blobs on a tank. The fourth tone earns its place too, letting you vary uniforms slightly between figures so a whole crew doesn't look machine-stamped.

Scale black, solved. Browse the rest of the AK 3rd Gen acrylic range for skin tones and webbing to finish the figures off.
