AK Interactive: the Best 120 Colors for Aircraft (AK11706)

Aircraft schemes live or die on getting the colour right, and this box takes the hunting out of it. AK have gathered 120 of their 3rd Generation acrylics chosen for aircraft subjects — the RLM tones, the RAF and USAAF greens and greys, the sea blues and the bare-metal-adjacent shades — spanning the First World War, the Second and modern jets. It all comes in a hinged carry case, so the range sits on the bench in one place.

What's in the box

• 120 AK 3rd Generation acrylic paints
• Colours selected for aircraft subjects: WWI, WWII and modern
• Hinged plastic storage case with individual slots

Best for

• Modellers working across multiple air forces and eras
• Multi-tone camouflage and mottling where near-enough won't do
• Clubs and shared benches needing broad colour coverage

Water-based and built to thin cleanly, the 3rd Gen formula sprays smooth through fine needles and dries to a durable matt finish — exactly what mottling and soft demarcations need. Having the full spread to hand means matching a reference rather than compromising on it.

A complete aircraft palette in one case. Replace individual bottles from the AK 3rd Gen acrylics range as they run low.
