Lifecolor SPG05 Pigments and Colours Mud 6x22ml is a professional set designed for realistic replication of mud and dirt effects on scale models and dioramas. This set from the renowned Italian manufacturer Lifecolor includes three specialist pigments (PG114 N. Europe Dry Mud, PG115 Red Dry Mud, PG116 S. Europe Dry Mud) and three water-based acrylic paints (UA913 N. Europe Dark Mud, UA914 Red Mud, UA915 S. Europe Mud), each in 22 ml containers. Thanks to this set, you can achieve highly authentic effects of earth, mud, and dust, characteristic of different climate zones of both Northern and Southern Europe.

Products from the Lifecolor line are dedicated to plastic modeling, resin models, 3D prints, as well as metal and wooden models. As they can be thinned with water, alcohol, or organic solvents, both the pigments and paints offer broad compatibility with various substrates including plastic, metal, resin, vinyl, ceramic, and wood. The pigments can be mixed with paints and applied with a brush, drybrush, or precision airbrush (recommended nozzle size minimum 0.3 mm). Dry use allows for matte, dusty effects, while mixing the pigments with paint creates a three-dimensional paste, ideal for replicating thick layers of mud on armored vehicles from wartime periods, military equipment, or diorama bases.
