COLOUR CREATION,
DEVELOPMENT AND
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
AK Interactive distinguishes by achieving accuracy in its col-
ours, this is our process for creating our paints.
1 CREATION
AK Interactive works and collaborates with
many people to achieve the most accurate col-
ours. From historians, military, and specialists
join forces with the modellers to find the most
exact pattern for each colour. The specialist
along with the artist/modeller search and study
the right shade for each colour or the paint can
be extracted directly from the original object
and paint it on a board which will be delivered
to the AK headquarters and the factory.
1 COLOUR SCAN
Our colours arrive in either of two ways,
the colour comes already painted and ap-
plied on a board or it comes in a jar which
we then apply over a board. From the
board we read it with a spectrophotom-
eter which gives us its coordinates and
colour curves.
AK INTERACTIVE / 4
2 CALIBRATING THE FORMULA
With our cutting-edge colour formulation software,
which has been previously calibrated and adjusted
to our raw materials, we start working to achieve the
desired colour. We input the necessary parameters
such as coverage, which pigments to use, etc.. This
way, the software gives us a formula to reproduce
the colour taking into account not only the overall
colour appearance, but its complete colour curve
and the different light effects such as daylight, in-
candescent, and fluorescent light.
3 MATCHING ACCURACY
We produce the suggested formula from the soft-
ware and apply it over a board to compare it with the
original pattern to see the slight differences. Usual-
ly, the software gives us a very close result to the
original, but not a perfect match. Once again, with
the spectrophotometer, we take the data of the new
colour and correct it with our software to adjust it to
the original pattern.
4 FINAL TEST
The normal process is to make two corrections over
the first input. Once ready, we send it to the person
responsible to get the approval and get it ready for
production.
3 MANUFACTURING
1 PRODUCTION
Once production starts, we make another test over
a board to check its coverage, quality and colour.
If for any reason there has been any change in the
parameters, we fix it until it is correct. We keep a
colour swatch of each colour manufactured.
2 QUALITY
This colour development and manufacturing proce-
dure is protected and audited under the ISO 9001
quality standard.

AT THE FACTORY
PAINT CREATION PROCESS
In AK Interactive, we want to show you how our paints are created in our
factory. The previous process is more complicated as colours have to be
1
tested over and over again until we achieve the proper and correct shade,
then the coloured chip is computer scanned in a special machine for
colorimetry to store the correct values.
Our paints are computer formulated, kept in files where it is stored the exact
amount of pigments and chemical composition for each colour. Once the
process begins to create a paint, the exact amount of each component is
placed mechanically (Fig. 1 and Fig 2.) in a container. Then is well mixed
during quite a long time, until the complete mix has certain kind of texture
and colour uniformity depending on the formula used (Fig. 3).
3
4 bottling
Now it comes the time to fill the bottle or jars, this process has to be controlled
carefully because any issue can cause the paint to vary its colour. Here we
can see our qualified workers looking after the whole process of bottling and
placing the lids.
AK INTERACTIVE / 6
5 labelling
Once the previous step has finished , all the bottles that have passed the
quality control are ready for labelling, here the proper labels previously
printed with the reference and barcode are glued to the jars.
6 Another
quality test
To make sure our products have the best quality we make a random
quality test over every batch. We take one of the jars for each batch
and test its consistency using brush and airbrush, as well for all those
products which are not acrylics, the process is the same but some
require further test over plastic painted pieces or whatever is needed
(Fig 6, Fig. 7).

8 stocking and boxing
Once all the quality processes have finished and we are satisfied with the
result, now is time to stock them properly and get them ready so they can
arrive properly to your homes.

AKRYLICS
AK Interactive has always distinguished itself by
the quality of its products. Our new generation
of acrylic paints is entirely developed in our own
laboratories which offers several advantages
and innovations that will help you to paint your
models both quickly and smoothly, either by
brush or by airbrush. We are proud to say that
we have no less than three different paint formu-
las on the market today.
AK INTERACTIVE / 8
1 3 DIFFERENT FORMULAS
1
Our basic line is especially designed for both airbrush and brush painting. These paints
don’t clog in the tip of the airbrush and are easily cleaned or thinned with water (although
we highly recommend our own Acrylic thinner). We care about your health and insist that
our paints are non-toxic and don’t produce harmful odours. They offer a light, smooth,
satin finish which is the ideal surface for further weathering. We have a wide range of
specific colours designed for the popular “modulation technique”, and also the correct
colours (RAL, FS, RLM) which are scaled for the best results. Other colours complete our
ever expanding catalogue, including the most popular current colours, for example col-
ours ideally suited for chipping and producing rust effects. We also of course produce a
range of standard colours.
2
We also produce a different formula for our figure series colours which are specially de-
signed for painting with a brush to produce a matte finish suitable for this genre. This
range is designed in co-operation with the best figure painters in Europe.
3
Finally, our last formula, is for our Air series. These paints have the perfect opacity and a
perfect satin finish. After research, the colours are altered for a scale reduction effect. The
colours for many countries in a variety of areas are researched by the most prestigious
historians such as Mr. Michael Ullmann and Mr. Nicholas Millman or Mr. Maciej Goralczyk.

2 OUR JARS
Distinguishing our acrylic colours is simple. The bottles
are our standard 17ml plastic bottles with a drip nozzle
for easy dispensing in to an airbrush cup. These bottles
are easy to store, ergonomic, and user-friendly. Only
our range of colours has the orange cap that guaran-
tees you the best paints exclusively made by AK Inter-
active. We now also have a black cap to distinguish Air
and Figure Series as well as white for our Naval series.
Our labels distinguish the paints for each line with the
code, the name, and the bar-code.
All of our paints are made up from a selection of top quality components with the result that they
only need to be shaken and they are ready to use. There’s no need to dilute the paints when you
decide to use your airbrush. When applied by brush they also have a greater degree of coverage.
In the case of our figure series, you can use them directly by brush and if you decide to load
these paints into your airbrush, you can easily dilute them by adding 40% of our acrylic thinner.
4 DILUTION
AND APPLYING
You can dilute our colours with tap water, although we recommend using our specific thinner for best
results.. Don’t forget that you can use our colours (label with brush& airbrush) directly from the bottle
without dilution. If you want the best results for the painting camouflage or thin lines, you can add a few
drops of our specific thinner, useful for all types of acrylics. The AK-712 thinner improves the perfor-
mance of the paint and is vastly superior when compared with most available thinners.

5 AKRYLIC SETS
We have separated our paint sets depending on our line of products. In the
future we will keep developing new lines with different characteristics to satisfy
the modeller’s needs.
EFFECTS SETS
These colours are the most accurate and authentic that a modeller can find. With these sets you can
get different effects in your models or paint special parts. Each colour serves to produce a different
goal or effect, e.g. for rust , rubber , wood , brass even our popular colour for chipping. On the boxes
you can see examples of how they can be used and also to serve as an inspiration for your models.
Our modulation sets are specially designed for painting vehicles. They con-
tain a paint specially diluted to create the necessary transparency to paint a
model using this technique. Each set contains 6 colours for a soft transition
of colour in 1/35 or larger scales. You can use fewer colours for smaller
scales. On the back of the box, you can find a small guide with step by
step photos which tell you the steps that are needed to achieve the desired
results. The AFV series also has in its line the real colours. You can obtain
these colours separately or in sets or blisters. These colours are our special
and exclusive range as they have been developed and researched with great
care. They are our best product for the most demanding modellers. The dif-
ferent colours included in these sets are RAL colours, Federal Standard,

6 SCALE REDUCTION FACTOR
Only AK Interactive has managed to adapt authentic colours for models. For years, paint manufac-
turers have created colours without bearing this important factor in mind. A true colour reflects more
light the more surface it covers, resulting in a lighter colour, but the opposite happens when the area
covered is less.

MODULATION
In this section we will take a brief look at what modulation is and what can do
for us, although there is a lot more information on how physical light works,
we have synthesized it to be easy and fast to understand for the modeller.

The first thing to understand about light is that
there has to be an emitter source and that it
bounces endlessly with a decay inversely pro-
portional to the square of the distance from the
source. Indirect light is the result of the light

VARNISHES
WHAT ARE THEY
Varnish is a dilution of one or more resinous substances in a liquid thinner.
The air volatilizes this liquid, which dries due to evaporation, leaving a film
over the surface where it has been applied.
Many kinds of varnishes exist depending on the thinner or resin used for
their fabrication. Actually AK Interactive in its line of acrylic paints has 4
types of varnishes with an aquatic base which offers us the following finish-
es: ultra-matt (AK183), matt (AK775), satin (AK776) and glossy (AK777). All
of them are the best quality.
HOW TO USE
To obtain a smooth and uniform finish, it is convenient to apply the varnish-
es with an airbrush and to prepare the surface properly; that is, free of dust
and grease. In order to have a clean atmosphere, we can spray some water
on the air so the water will capture all the dust particles and drop them.
When we airbrush it properly, we actually guarantee a continuous layer,
without imperfections, with an adequate and uniform thickness.

AFRIKA KORPS COLOUR SET
Included AK700, AK701, AK702, AK703, AK704, AK705.
PRECISE COLOURS
The Deutsche Afrika Korps vehicles wore four different RAL colours: 8000 and 7008 until
March of 1942 and RAL colours 8020 and 7008 after March of 1942. Additionally, the vehicles
were painted with a Panzer Grey RAL 7021 base that in many cases was exposed when the
paint camo was chipped and worn away. Finally, there is a discussion about the colour of the
Tiger I deployed in Tunisia, because some sources identified them as Olive Drab. However,
recent research identified the paint as RAL 8020 but in a more greenish shade than usual.
This set presents 6 colours to apply directly to your model without the need to make complex
paint mixtures or hours of deep research about the colours used by the DAK. Additionally,
these new colours are suitably modified to compensate for the scale effect in models. These
are accurate and real colours for lovers of precise paint.

PRECISE COLOURS
At the end of 1944, the German Army introduced new variants of the colours

of 6 colours designed to represent these colours that are sought after by mod-

complex mixes and hours of research. These paints have been designed in con-
sideration of the Scale Reduction Effect (subtly lighter than the actual colour),
to obtain the correct colours in our kits. These acrylic paints are formulated
for both brush and airbrush use, and they are soluble in water, meaning that
you won’t have odours as you would experience from the more aggressive,
solvent-based paints. Our acrylics are manufactured by AK Interactive, and are
made to our own formula, which prevents problems with them drying in the
airbrush, causing potential blockages.

XTREME METAL FEATURES
1 READY TO USE
Very easy to use with high opacity, and ultra realistic finish. Although you can
apply a primer first, it’s not necessary as this paint will NOT AFFECT THE
PLASTIC in any way as some other brands do.
We recommend only a primer when you use the two special colours: Chrome
and Polished aluminium that contain a special formula to obtain the mirror effect.
When dry you can polish these paints with a cotton cloth to achieve an even brighter
sheen. But keep in mind that adding a primer first will delay the drying time.
2 WEATHERING RESISTANT
The paint can handle any weathering process where other metallic paints fail, no matter
if you use alcohol, enamels or acrylics based products.
WEATHERING PRODUCTS
As example we spilled enamel based weathering products over the painted surface,
and just by whipping it off you see that the paint stays intact. Ready for the next phase.

EXACT COLOURS
HIGH SHEEN
Xtreme metal colours are true to nature as you can see in this titanium example of the real
metal and the colour applied over a plastic spoon. The high quality super fine pigments
have as result an ultra high sheen. When covered with a varnish the metallic effect can be
enhanced and sealed.
4 MASKING
It’s of course necessary to respect drying times before you start masking and want to avoid any
problems. We recommend you respect a drying time of 2 hours when the surface isn’t primed
and 6 hours when a primer is applied to let the paint harden thoroughly. The drying processes
of the particles need to be respected just as with any type of paints to have a smooth process

in the steps taken. In the following images you can see the process of masking, painting and
removing the mask or tape. Take a closer look at the final picture, the acrylic paint is removed
with the tip of a knife without damaging the Xtreme metal paint, AMAZING!!

pigments: how and why
Pigments are a good medium for any modeller. They can be used on
their own or in combination with other products. The different colours
can be mixed to achieve a greater variety in tone. It’s important to avoid
a uniform look on your model and pigments can be used to bring life to
your model with very convincing results. Over an enamel base pigments
can be used in combination with water or with White Spirit if a protective
varnish is applied. Over an acrylic base coat you can best use White
Spirit to handle the pigments. Once the pigments have dried the original
colour will reappear.
applying methods
1 SINGLE
Pigments can be applied using a soft brush over a matt surface; this
will help to retain the pigment. Working this way has as advantage
that you can achieve a very subtle finish and create dust effects.
The excess pigments can be easily removed.
2 WHITE SPIRIT
With White Spirit you can apply pigments in all areas with a
realistic result.

3 FIXER & TEXTURIZERS
A high quality acrylic resin developed to mix with the
pigments to add textures and dries out completely matt.
Texturizer can be used to bring structure to terrains or on
desired areas of your model. Small fibers or real soil can
be added for stronger effects.

Full colour. 76 pages.
English, Spanish.
BOOKS
When we decided to launch the Modelling Full Ahead project, we were aware that in an eighty page publi-
cation it was possible to condense the information needed to build a specific warship. But as modelling is
evolving nowadays with it’s curiosity, techniques, innovation, history, and certainly everything that pushes us
to build a scale model, this cannot only be achieved with a monographic series.
Baring this is mind and in response to the multitude of suggestions we received, we offer you a parallel to the
monographs series. In this special issue we will deal with difficulties that may occur to you during the building
stages , such as working with photo-etch, advanced painting, scratch-building, diorama composition, etc..
With this new guide we will not only help you to build your models but also have the possibility to tell its history.

4X2
Full colour. 130 pages.

4×2 introduces what we believe to be an entirely new concept with modelling publications. In this
book, four modellers build a different subject twice! Each specific vehicle is represented by each
modeller in either an operational or factory fresh appearance, and again as a destroyed, abandoned,
or museum/monument exhibited vehicle. A truly unique approach for the vehicle modeller. With this
approach, we can bring you articles on the same model, but with entirely different techniques em-
ployed, or used in a different manner. Of course, you will be able to translate these techniques to other
eras and different vehicles. 4×2 has more than 130 pages, detailed step-by-step process descriptions
and high quality photographs, as it standard with all AK publications.

EXTREME REALITY
Full colour. 136 pages.

Realism is usually the goal that we as modellers always want to achieve. It becomes challenging as we have
to bear in mind the many details we must add, but these small details are key to give our model its realistic
appearance. Extreme Reality shows how this realism can be achieved in scale modelling. Follow the talented
artists through a journey from a model to real life. Divided in step-by step articles showing you well known
techniques to some or specific techniques only used on a specific model. They will show you how a bulldozer
can be as extracted from the scrap yard or a bicycle abandoned somewhere in the countryside. Extreme
Reality is a book of masterpieces and it is mean for all of us who enjoy and love this great hobby.

finish, from the use of enamels, towards
waxes and bare metal sheets. Inside these
two volumes dedicated to metallics, the
talented artists from the AK Learning Se-
ries take you on a journey through the
difficult tasks of mastering metallics. In
this first volume we will show you how to
understand metallic paints and how to ap-
ply them properly with the right products.
