If you paint models with oils, this is the mothership: the entire Abteilung 502 range in a single box. These aren't off-the-shelf artist's oils — they're mixed with a lower oil content, so you get more matte, controllable finishes and a proper balance between the medium and the ultra-fine pigments. Long open times mean your filters, washes, streaks and fades blend exactly where you want them, then stay put.
