Ammo Modelling Pigment Vietnam Earth

The Ammo by MIG Modelling Pigment Vietnam Earth is a finely ground weathering pigment designed to replicate the rich, reddish-brown soil typical of Southeast Asian environments, particularly associated with Vietnam-era terrain.

It is widely used in scale modelling to create realistic jungle ground, muddy tracks, and humid tropical environment effects, especially for Vietnam War–themed dioramas.
