SMS Mecha Colour Carbon Black (30ml)
SMS Mecha Colour Carbon Black (MC09) is a black model paint from Scale Modellers Supply, supplied in a 30ml bottle. Part of the Mecha Colour range, Carbon Black offers a black colour option for mecha models, from prominent armour sections to smaller mechanical details.
Black is a useful colour when planning the appearance of a mecha model. It can be chosen for the main armour colour, used to distinguish mechanical components from exterior panels or incorporated into a design featuring several contrasting colours.
Black Armour and Body Panels
Carbon Black can be selected for mecha models featuring black exterior armour. This might include larger sections such as the torso and limbs or individual panels within a multi-coloured design.
On models where black is the principal colour, Carbon Black provides a named shade for the main painted sections. Alternatively, it can be reserved for selected panels to create a clear visual difference between black areas and neighbouring colours.
The choice depends on the model’s intended appearance. Some designs use black extensively, while others feature it only on particular parts of the armour.
Inner Frames and Mechanical Details
Mecha models often include visible mechanical structures beneath their outer armour. Carbon Black is a colour option for these areas, including exposed inner frames, joints and other structural components.
Using black on selected mechanical parts can help distinguish them from the surrounding armour, particularly when the exterior features lighter or brighter colours.
Carbon Black can also be used as part of a colour arrangement where different components are assigned individual shades. This allows the modeller to separate mechanical areas visually without changing the overall design of the model.
Using Carbon Black in a Mecha Colour Scheme
Black can serve as either a dominant colour or a supporting shade within a mecha colour scheme. Carbon Black provides a dedicated black option for both approaches.
For predominantly black designs, it can be assigned to the main armour sections. For models featuring several colours, black may instead be used on individual panels, joints or other contrasting details.
Carbon Black belongs to the SMS Mecha Colour collection, with manufacturer reference MC09 identifying this shade within the range.
