Yom Kippur Colors from Ammo Mig

We’ve recently received a modest bundle of samples of AMMO from Mig Jimenez weathering products. Along came a set of Yom Kippur War Colors set A.MIG 7113. This set will be used on the pictures Tamiya T-62A which inside the box has a beautiful Verlinden resin turret set and a photo etched fret with etched sponsons and enough metal to cast a few .50 cal rounds 😉

As some of you might know -and if you didn’t now you know it- all the bottles in this set feature the orange cap instead of white. This means that these (or any other color for that matter) have been specially formulated by Miguel himself and a group of collaborators and they are not sold under any other brand.

I must admit that at first I was reluctant to try yet another brand of model kit paint. When properly thinned these colors offer great coverage and a 17mL does go a long way. They work beautifully either with regular brush and it flows nice on my AZTEK A470 Dual action airbrush. After trying the Modern US Vehicles Sand color I was sold.

Looking forward to start this project soon and I will report here.
