Abteilung 502 Oil Paint - Sepia (AKABT002)

Sepia is the oil no modeller should be without. Thinned with a matt medium it mimics dry oil and diesel stains convincingly, and used neat straight from the tube it's superb for running panel lines and picking out fine detail on small parts. Warm rather than cold, it's the shade to reach for when a wash needs some character instead of flat black.

Best for

• Dry oil and diesel stains on engines, tracks and undersides
• Panel lines, rivets and recessed detail
• Warm-toned washes and filters where black would look dead

Thin it, layer it, glaze it — this one rewards experimentation more than most in the range.

A warm, everyday essential for detail and grime. See the rest of the range in the Abteilung 502 collection.
