Airbrushing with acrylics
With Manuel Gil
In today’s video, Manuel Gil returns to work on his Kawasaki Ki-61-Id Hien (Tony) aircraft, demonstrating how to paint mottled camouflage using ATOM by AMMO paints. Thanks to the unique formulation of ATOM paints, this advanced freehand camouflage technique can be applied easily with a little patience.
Manuel shares a variety of tips and tricks for painting camouflage, which can be applied to any freehand scheme or topic. These include the correct paint dilution, ideal air pressure, and more. Using an AMMO Airviper Airbrush with its fine 0.2mm needle and nozzle, Manuel demonstrates the precise application of the technique. He also explains how ATOM paints’ unique properties are advantageous for achieving fine camouflage patterns and shows how a heavily diluted application allows for easy chipping to add quick weathering effects.
