Lifecolor UA817 - Fitted Freight Bauxite 22ml – Acrylic Model Paint

Lifecolor UA817 - Fitted Freight Bauxite 22ml is a specialist acrylic paint designed for the most demanding modelers who expect the highest quality and faithful reproduction of historic details on their models. This product comes from the renowned manufacturer Lifecolor, known for excellent paint formulas used by both amateurs and professionals involved in historical and railway modeling.

The Fitted Freight Bauxite shade was developed based on authentic archival colors used on historic freight cars. It is especially recommended for painting bauxite-type railway wagons, which were widely used on British railways during the steam era. This color best captures the specificity of British rolling stock used from the 1930s, through World War II, up to the 1960s. The proper UA817 shade is perfect for recreating typical boxcars and open wagons, both in 1/76, 1/72, 1/35, and H0 (1/87) scales.

The paint is fully acrylic and water-soluble, meaning application is very easy and user friendly—it does not require the use of harmful solvents. The product can be used for both brush and airbrush painting. It covers surfaces made from various materials very well: plastic, resin, metal, wood, vinyl, and even fabrics and ceramics. Thanks to this, Lifecolor UA817 - Fitted Freight Bauxite is suitable for railway modeling, armor/vehicle modeling, dioramas, as well as craft and art projects.

The manufacturer provided a convenient 22 ml bottle with a practical screw cap, which allows the paint to stay fresh for a long period. The consistency allows for precise application, as well as mixing and shading, enabling a realistic weathered effect on wagons and subtle color transitions.
