PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

AK Interactive Abteilung 502 Oils — Complete 52-Colour Range

The full ABT 502 oil-paint range in one box — a lower-oil formula built for modelling, not the art-shop shelf.

Why modellers reach for these

✅ The entire range in one case. All 52 shades at 20 ml each — every colour ABT 502 makes, no gaps.
✅ Lower oil content than standard artist oils. Dries closer to matte, with far less of the greasy halo that creeps out around a dot of paint.
✅ Formulated for models. High-grade pigments balanced for realistic weathering, blending and filters.
✅ Long working time. Oils stay open, so you can blend, fade and feather at your own pace — no racing a fast-drying acrylic.
✅ 20 ml tubes. A serious amount of paint per colour, not sample-size.

About this set

ABT 502 is AK’s modelling-oriented oil range. The formula runs a lower oil content than typical artist oils, which does two useful things on a model: it dries closer to matte, and it cuts down the oily ring that artist oils leave creeping out around a dot of paint.

Balanced with high-grade pigments, it suits the core oil techniques modellers rely on — oil-paint rendering and dot filters, streaking and fading, panel-by-panel colour modulation, and subtle weathering over a sealed base. Oils give you long working time: the paint stays open, so you can blend, lift and feather until the effect is right.

This is the complete range — all 52 shades at 20 ml each in one box, the full palette from a single purchase.

📦 What’s in the box

• 52 × ABT 502 oil paint tubes, 20 ml each (complete range)
• 1 × AK presentation box

How it fits your workflow

● Works over a sealed / matt-varnished acrylic or enamel base — oils sit on top for weathering and rendering
● Thin and clean up with white spirit or an odourless enamel/oil thinner
● Pairs with pigments, enamels, washes and filters in a standard weathering stack
● Suited to armour, aircraft, ships, vehicles, figures, sci-fi and fantasy

💡 Pro tips

▸ Draw a little paint out onto card for a minute before use — it wicks off surplus binder for an even flatter, more controllable finish.
▸ Always work over a matt-varnished base: the oils grip properly and you can still wipe back mistakes with a thinner-damp brush.
▸ A little goes a long way — dot sparingly, then blend outward with a clean, barely-damp brush.
▸ Let the oils cure fully (often a day or more) before sealing with varnish.

Worth knowing before you buy

• Oils are slow. The long working time is the whole point, but full cure can take a day or more before you varnish — this isn’t a fast-turnaround medium.
• You’ll need a thinner. White spirit or an odourless solvent isn’t included; oils need it for thinning and cleanup.
• Best over a sealed surface. These are for weathering and rendering on top of a varnished base, not for base-coating bare plastic.
• This is the full 52-colour range. Strong coverage and value per tube, but a significant outlay. New to modelling oils? A smaller themed set is an easier start — this box is for painters who want the complete palette.
• Ventilate your bench. Used with solvents; work in a ventilated space. A Safety Data Sheet is available on request.
