AMMO by MIG Jimenez has released weathering set Super Pack for desert and arid battlefields. Although a Panzer IV is illustrated on the box art, this versatile set will be suitable for Allied, Axis and other eras in a dry fighting environment too.

 

 

A useful selection of weathering products are included:

A.MIG-3002 – Light Dust Modelling Pigment
A.MIG-3012 – Sand Modelling Pigment
A.MIG-105 – Washable Dust Acrylic Color
A.MIG-106 – Washable Sand Acrylic Color
A.MIG-1401– Light Dust Nature Effects
A.MIG-1750  - Dry Earth Splashes
A.MIG-1751  - Dry Steppe Splashes
A.MIG-1700 – Dry Light Soil Heavy Mud
A.MIG-1701 – Thick Soil Heavy Mud
A.MIG-1258 – Streaking Dust Brusher
A.MIG-3523 – Dusty Earth Oilbrusher

Two pigment sets - Light Dust and Sand and Light Dust in the enamel Nature Effect range. This is designed to be applied to the hull, wheels and tracks to create mud and dust effects. May be thinned for more translucent layers.

 

 

Two bottles containing thick, enamel-based mud colours - Heavy Mud A.MIG-1701 – Thick Soil and Heavy Mud A.MIG-1705 – Wet Mud.

 

 

These will allow you to accumulate this thick mud in layers and different colours for a structural effect.


 

Two bottles of Medium Density Mud Splashes - A.MIG- 1750 – Dry Earth and A.MIG- 1751 – Dry Steppe.

 

 

These may be flicked from a flat brush using the handle of another brush or an airbrush. They may also be applied directly where thicker mud is not appropriate. I think I will also try the Dry Earth applied directly to tracks, then wiped off with a clean cloth.


Two bottles of acrylic earth-coloured paints – pretty self-explanatory.

 

 

These are A.MIG-105 – Washable Dust Acrylic Color and A.MIG-106 – Washable Sand Acrylic Color.


 

One Oilbrusher – A.MIG-3523 Dusty Earth.

 

 

This has an integrated brush inside the lid that may be used to apply dirt and mud effects to very specific areas.


 

One Streaking Brusher.

 

 

This appears to be an acrylic paint version of the Oilbrusher - A.MIG-1258 – Streaking Dust Brusher

This is a versatile primer to AMMO’s desert weathering products.
