Mr Hobby Aqueous Hobby Colour H-59 IJN Green Semi Gloss Acrylic Paint 10ml

Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color: H-59 IJN Green (Semi-Gloss) Bring historical accuracy and a professional finish to your aviation builds with Mr. Hobby Aqueous H-59 IJN Green. This specialized semi-gloss acrylic is an essential shade for scale modelers, specifically formulated to replicate the iconic upper-surface camouflage of Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft.

Key Features

• Authentic Imperial Japanese Navy Tone: H-59 is meticulously color-matched to replicate the dark, rich green used across Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft throughout WWII.

• Smooth Semi-Gloss Finish: Delivers an authentic, period-correct sheen that mirrors operational aircraft while providing a smooth surface for decal application, reducing the risk of "silvering" without extra prep coats.

• Safe & Low Odor Formula: As a water-based acrylic resin paint, H-59 is significantly safer for indoor and workshop use than traditional lacquers. It features a mild scent and cleans up easily.

• Exceptional Self-Leveling: Formulated to flow effortlessly over fine panel lines and delicate surface detail, leveling itself as it cures to leave a smooth, streak-free finish whether brushed or airbrushed.

Application Guide

• Hand Brushing: Apply in thin, consistent layers. If the paint thickens out of the jar, thin slightly with Mr. Hobby Aqueous Thinner to keep the surface level and brush-mark free.

• Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). For optimum atomization, fine line work, and smooth camouflage edges, use Mr. Hobby Aqueous Thinner or Levelling Thinner.

Pro-Tips for IJN Green

• The Perfect Foundation: Apply H-59 over a neutral grey, brown-red, or bare-metal silver primer base. A metallic or red oxide primer works exceptionally well for replicating natural chipping and wear around high-traffic wing roots.

• Weathering Ready: The smooth semi-gloss surface provides an ideal foundation for panel line washes and sun-bleached fading effects. Excess oil washes wipe away cleanly without staining the base coat.

• Quick Drying, Steady Curing: Touch-dry in minutes, but allow 24 hours of full cure time before applying delicate masking tape for canopy frames, yellow wing leading edge bands, or Hinomaru roundels.
