  Pigments stay consistent even when diluted, maintaining rich coverage and color accuracy.
• Layer different Olive Drab tones to recreate sun-faded and field-worn variations seen in combat service.
  Blend Faded Olive Drab 2 and 3 for realistic light modulation.
• Compatible with Mission Models’ polyurethane mix additive for added flow and durability.
  Combine with their Transparent Medium to build dust, dirt, and grime layers with subtle tonal variation.
