AK Interactive 3rd Generation Varnishes

AK Interactive Varnishes for Scale Models & Miniatures

AK Interactive varnishes are premium water-based acrylic clear coats designed specifically for scale models, miniatures, dioramas, and hobby projects. Whether you are sealing decals, protecting weathering, or adjusting final sheen, AK varnishes deliver a smooth, durable finish without obscuring fine surface detail.

Fusion Scale Hobbies proudly offers the complete range of AK Interactive varnish finishes in both available bottle sizes, giving modelers full control over protection and appearance at every stage of a build.


Available AK Interactive Varnish Finishes

Gloss Varnish

AK Interactive Gloss Varnish provides a crystal-clear, high-shine surface ideal for decal application, washes, and panel line work. A gloss coat reduces surface tension, helping decals settle cleanly and preventing silvering.

Satin Varnish

Satin Varnish delivers a subtle, realistic sheen commonly used on aircraft, rolling stock, and modern military subjects. It balances reflection and flatness while maintaining color depth.

Semi-Matte Varnish

Semi-Matte Varnish offers a slightly flatter finish than satin while still preserving tonal richness. It is an excellent choice for armor, weathered vehicles, and mixed-surface models.

Ultra-Matte Varnish

AK Interactive Ultra-Matte Varnish produces a dead-flat, non-reflective surface without chalking or frosting. Perfect for figures, military subjects, and heavily weathered finishes where realism is critical.


Two Bottle Sizes for Any Project

AK Interactive varnishes are available in two convenient bottle sizes, making them suitable for everything from small detail work to large-scale production projects. The acrylic formula is easy to thin, fast drying, and compatible with both airbrush and brush application.
