Yellow Grey

🏁 Get the exact tone real vehicles wear. Yellow Grey is formulated for scale modelers who won't settle for 'close enough' when the judges — or their own eye — start looking for flaws.

Yellow Grey is a factory-matched solid colour developed for scale modelers who want an accurate, ready-to-use match without mixing or guessing ratios. Solid colours like this one form the backbone of most real-world vehicle finishes, prized for their consistency and ease of touch-up compared to metallic or pearl formulations.

Yellow Grey is a brush-on acrylic colour that is formulated for hand-brushing directly from the pot, with a pigment load tuned for 1:35, 1:48 and 1:72 figures and small detail areas where an airbrush would be impractical. It self-levels well, reducing visible brush strokes on smaller surfaces.

💡 Laboratory Application Tips

• Preparation (Primer): A White Primer is recommended for this light tone, giving the pigment a clean, uniform base so the true colour reads correctly instead of appearing dull or uneven over a darker surface.
• Painting Technique: Load the brush lightly and apply in thin, multiple layers rather than one thick coat; letting each layer dry fully between passes avoids visible brush marks and keeps fine details, like faces and uniform trim, crisp.
• Finishing: A brush-applied Matte or Satin varnish, thinned slightly with water, protects the finished colour and unifies the sheen across a figure or small assembly without pooling in recesses.

⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes

Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula is adjusted to counter the "scale effect," so light reflection on the miniature stays proportional to the real vehicle or object rather than looking artificially pale or dark.

Visual note: Product photos are for reference only. The full three-dimensional depth and true pigment brilliance only become visible once the model is painted and properly clearcoated.
