We've all heard it.  "That is the incorrect shade of Dunklegelb! Late War was more yellow!!"  You know, that modeller who insists their colour knowledge is much better than the person who actually built the model. That modeller who will stomp his feet in a huff at a model show because they are right and you are wrong.  Guess what? Everyone is wrong.  There is no such thing as an accurate colour.  "Bullshit!"

It's been a few years now since our Weathering Pigments were first released and they desperately needed a new lease of life so, new labels have been designed and put into the system for new stock as of now.  We know it's not that exciting to have new labels, but every little bit counts to make our products the absolute best they can be.  Expect the new look labels to appear in selected stockists over the next few months as stock is replenished.  - Scott
