Colour mapping is the technique that gives a flat panel real volume, and this set of six Abteilung 502 shades is picked to do exactly that. Stipple and blend them for a faded, dirty surface with genuine tonal variation, or use their blurring and transparency to map lights and shadows across any ship, vehicle or aircraft.
