83 acrylic colors mirroring Revell's enamel palette without the solvents.
Revell Aqua Color, the water-based option
Revell Aqua Color is the water-based acrylic counterpart to Revell's Email enamel range, 83 colors that trade the solvents for easier cleanup and faster drying. For a modeler who likes Revell's authentic color matches but does not want to work with white spirit, this is the range that lets you keep the palette and lose the fumes.
The overlap with the enamel line is deliberate and obvious: many colors carry the same RAL codes and scheme names, so a builder can pick the formula that suits their workflow and still hit the correct reference color for a given kit. The spread is the familiar modeling weighting, greys, greens, and browns leading, with primaries filling in behind, all pointed at vehicles and aircraft more than figures.
As acrylics these behave more like the water-based paints most hobbyists know: thin with water or acrylic thinner, dry quickly, and clean up without solvent. The usual acrylic trade-off applies, the cured finish is generally less rock-hard than a fully cured enamel, but for most model work the convenience wins. Between the two Revell ranges, Aqua Color is the friendlier starting point unless you specifically want an enamel finish.
