AMMO by Mig Jimenez Drybrush Paints for Scale Model Weathering

Discover the specialized AMMO by Mig Jimenez Drybrush paint collection, expertly formulated for the drybrushing technique that brings scale models to life. These premium acrylic paints feature the perfect consistency and pigment density for highlighting raised details, creating realistic wear patterns, and adding depth to your military vehicles, armor, aircraft, and dioramas.

Specialized Drybrush Formula for Perfect Results

Unlike standard acrylic paints, AMMO Drybrush paints are specifically engineered with optimal viscosity and pigment concentration for the drybrushing technique. The unique formula allows the paint to catch on raised surfaces while naturally skipping recessed areas, creating authentic highlights and texture effects that enhance realism on your scale models.

Essential Green Tones for Military Modeling

Our drybrush collection features carefully selected green shades perfect for military camouflage highlighting including Bright Green 0605 for vibrant vegetation and fresh camouflage highlights, Medium Green 0606 for general purpose green highlighting, and Medium Olive Green 0609 for authentic military olive drab weathering and edge highlighting.

Metallic and Specialty Drybrush Colors

Create stunning metallic wear effects with Brass 0623, perfect for highlighting brass fittings, ammunition casings, and metal details on military equipment. The Faded Yellow 0624 replicates sun-bleached paint and weathered yellow markings, while Light Brick 0626 adds realistic highlights to brick structures, rust effects, and earth-toned surfaces in dioramas.

Why Choose AMMO Drybrush Paints?

Created by renowned military modeler Mig Jimenez, these drybrush paints eliminate the guesswork from the drybrushing technique. The pre-thinned consistency means you can apply them directly from the bottle without dilution, saving time and ensuring consistent results. Each color is carefully selected to complement common military paint schemes and weathering applications, making them essential tools for both beginner and advanced modelers.

Perfect for Multiple Modeling Techniques

While optimized for drybrushing, these versatile paints also excel at edge highlighting, detail picking, texture enhancement, and creating realistic wear patterns. Use them on military vehicles to highlight rivets and panel lines, on aircraft to emphasize surface details, on armor to create paint chipping effects, and on dioramas to add depth to terrain features, vegetation, and architectural elements.

Professional Weathering Made Easy

AMMO Drybrush paints simplify advanced weathering techniques that once required years of experience. The specialized formula adheres perfectly to matte surfaces, builds up gradually for controlled effects, and dries to a durable finish that won't rub off. Whether you're highlighting camouflage patterns, creating dust accumulation, emphasizing mechanical wear, or adding sunlight effects, these paints deliver professional results with minimal effort.

Drybrushing Application Tips

To achieve optimal results with AMMO Drybrush paints, use a flat or rounded brush with stiff bristles. Load a small amount of paint onto the brush, then wipe most of it off onto a paper towel or palette until only a trace remains. Lightly sweep the nearly dry brush across raised surfaces using quick, light strokes. The paint will naturally catch on edges, rivets, and textured areas while skipping recessed details. Build up the effect gradually with multiple light passes rather than one heavy application. The paints work best over matte or satin finishes and can be applied directly without thinning. Clean brushes with water or acrylic thinner immediately after use to maintain bristle stiffness for future drybrushing sessions.
