Ammo of Mig A-Stand new metallic lacquer paints review

Описание: Welcome to The Scale Modelling Cafe, and welcome to the long awaited review of Ammo of Mig's new A-Stand range of lacquer paints. These are essentially re-branded Alclad paints in a new, more user friendly package so the quality is assured. I have been using Alclad ever since I can remember and I have never used a better paint so the quality is assured. In the video I describe some of the paints I was given, plus at the end there are some clips from the Airfix Lightning video and some photos of recent models using the old Ammo branded Alclad plus this new stuff. Below is the press blurb from Ammo.


AMMO presents an exclusive new range of lacquer-based, high- performance paints designed for modelling use. Formulated with ultrafine pigments, A-Stand is a range of professional paints that offers extremely realistic finishes difficult to match by other brands on the market. The A-Stand range offers a complete solution for the modeller: it includes an extensive colour chart of metallic and transparent tones, as well as primers and varnishes. These paints provide perfect results for any modelling subject, whether aircraft, military or civilian vehicles, figures, science-fiction and fantasy, or dioramas, providing a highly durable finish when dry.

Why do you need A-Stand?
The excellent fluidity of A-Stand products makes them easy to spray without clogging the airbrush. They also provide a tough and durable finish once dry, allowing the application of any other lacquer, enamel weathering products, or acrylic paint on top without issue.
A-Stand products dry to the touch in a short period of time of approximately 30 minutes, depending on the amount of paint applied, ambient humidity and temperature.
The A-Stand paint series includes various lines of products used to apply a range of effects and finishes on your models.

What are the advantages of A-Stand?
The range of A-Stand primers are the most durable primers available for airbrush use. There are matt and gloss colours available for priming all model subjects and types. They can be used on any material, plastic, resin, and metal.
All A-Stand paints are created with the perfect consistency to be sprayed through airbrushes with nozzles 0.2 mm and larger. For the best results, apply them using air pressure of 12 to 15 psi, and apply from a distance of approximately 5 to 7.5 cm (2-3 in) from the surface of the model.
A-Stand provides you the perfect finish for your projects with three varnish options: gloss, satin and flat, each providing a highly durable finish when dry.
