This is an exceptional acrylic lacquer based on solvent, designed for precision painting of plastic and resin models, especially by modelers seeking full control over the painting effect and top-quality finish. The AMT-12 Dark Grey color is a faithful reproduction of the shade used in Soviet aviation, primarily for painting upper surfaces of aircraft during World War II and in the post-war period.

• Purpose: Most commonly used for 1/48 and 1/72 scale models representing Soviet fighters, bombers, and ground-attack aircraft (e.g., Yak-3, La-5FN, Il-2) serving in the Red Army.
• Historical period: World War II and the early Cold War period.
• Country of original use: Soviet Union (USSR).
• Color scheme and application: AMT-12 Dark Grey was a typical color on the upper surfaces of aircraft in characteristic two-tone or three-tone camouflages (in combination with AMT-4 Green and AMT-7 Light Blue).

• Capacity: 17ml – enough to paint several models in standard 1/72 scale or one large model in 1/32 scale.
