Master the iconic look of the American G.I. with the AK Interactive WWII US Army Soldier Uniform Colors Set. This elite 3rd Generation Acrylic set provides a scientifically curated selection of tones representing the most commonly seen uniforms worn by American soldiers throughout the European and Pacific theaters. Utilizing a technologically superior formula, these paints offer exceptional brushability and airbrush performance, engineered specifically to avoid traditional clogging when diluted. Whether you are painting M-42 paratrooper jump suits or the standard M-43 olive drab fatigue, this set delivers the high-pigment density and "exact tone" required for museum-quality historical miniatures.
As part of the specialized Figures Series, each color is optimized for high coverage and resistance on plastic, resin, and metal model kits. The ultra-matte finish ensures that your 1/35 scale figures or 28mm wargaming armies maintain a realistic, non-reflective appearance under any lighting conditions. Featuring the innovative patented cap design, you can identify colors at a glance on your workbench, making this set the primary choice for hobbyists who demand both efficiency and historical precision.

TIP: Authentic M-42 Webbing
To replicate the distinctive look of US Army canvas webbing and gaiters, apply Canvas Tone (AK11436) over a base of US Field Drab (AK11435). Use a fine-pointed brush to "dot" the highlights on the edges of the pouches to simulate fabric wear and sun bleaching.
Recommendation: Airbrushing 3GEN
When using these colors through an airbrush, dilute with AK11500 3GEN Thinner at a 60:40 ratio (Paint to Thinner). The new formula’s superior resistance ensures the pigment stays suspended, providing a smooth, clog-free application even at low PSI for fine detail work.
