Akrylfärger är de vanligaste färgtyperna som används på modellsatser och dioramas. Akrylfärg är lätt att hantera eftersom den är vattenbaserad, vilket betyder att de kan tunnas ut och rengöras med vatten. Användningen av akryl tunnare eller airbrush flödesförbättrare ger dock de bästa resultaten. Akrylfärger är sårbara för repor eller märken, så det är viktigt att belägga dina modellpaket med lack för att skydda dem. Beroende på temperaturen torkar akrylfärgen på cirka 20 minuter och härdar inom 24 timmar. För airbrushing torkar alkoholbaserade thinner snabbare än vatten.

Fördelar
Vattenbaserade akryler tenderar att torka snabbt, har en försumbar lukt och kan enkelt blandas med vatten eller tunnare. Vatten kan också användas för att rengöra borstar samt ta bort en topplack för att skapa fliseffekter. På grund av den snabbtorkande tiden tillåter detta att många fler färger kan appliceras under en modelleringssession, vilket ökar byggandet av mer komplexa områden, såsom cockpits och figurer.
Många tillverkare producerar nu ett brett utbud av färgserier av färger som är utformade för att replikera verkliga färger som används av många länder genom historien. Detta gör det lättare att producera en rad modeller med exakta färgscheman och ytbehandlingar.

Numera tillverkar många tillverkare akrylfärger som är lämpliga för airbrushes, såsom Vallejo Model Air, MIG AMMO och AK Interactive. Airbrushing akrylfärg tilltalar många modeller eftersom dessa färger är relativt säkra att använda inomhus och har lite lukt.

Ansvarsfriskrivning: Vid airbrushing av färg rekommenderas det att använda en spraybås och ansiktsmask / andningsskydd för att skydda dig från det genererade spraymolnet.

Nackdelar
Med sina snabbare torkningstider behöver akryl lite extra försiktighet för att undvika borstmärken på modellen. Detta kan åstadkommas genom att applicera flera tunna skikt eller använda utjämningsförtunnande medel, torkhämmare eller flödesförbättrare som också kan användas när du borstar akryl, akrylfärg är benägen att torka ut i luftborsten, dess spets eller i luften under resan. till modellen. Omgivningstemperatur kan också påverka torkningsaspekter.
Den slutliga ytan kallas av många för en topplack eller lack. Det hjälper till att skydda lacken från skador, eftersom vissa modellsatser är utformade för wargaming på bordsskivor som utsätts för omfattande hantering och upprepad användning.

Vissa märken akrylfärg kan vara alkoholbaserade som ger en söt doft. Detta kan orsaka problem när du borstar målning eftersom andra eller tredje lager kan störa de tidigare färglagren.
Lack
Lakfärger används minst på grund av deras svårighet och risk för användning. Lackfärger är de hårdaste av de tre huvudtyperna och torkar snabbast. När torra lackfärger är extremt svåra att ta bort utan att skada plasten också. Av de tre är de också de mest giftiga, så användarna bör vara i ett väl ventilerat område med en explosionssäker spraybås som har ett speciellt fläktsystem och bära andningsskydd, ögonskydd och handskar. Lackfärg kräver en annan typ av färg tunnare som passar namnet lack tunnare.

Exempel på lackfärg är MrColor och MRP (MrPaint).
Emalj

Emaljfärger torkar vanligtvis till en hård, blank yta. Det kan ta 2-3 timmar att torka, men har en härdningstid på 24-48 timmar. På grund av detta torkar emaljfärg hårdare, därför är den mer motståndskraftig mot repor. Emaljfärger är giftigare än akrylfärger men är inte lika dåliga som lackfärg. Den används för handmålning där den långsammare torkningen ger ytterligare tid för färgen att jämna ut och dölja penseldrag. Emaljfärger rekommenderas också för tvätt av paneler.
