Acrylic Paint Set VALLEJO Model Air RAF Colors Bomber & Training Air Command 1939-1945 (8×17 ml)

Set of eight 17 ml acrylic Model Air paints reproducing RAF Bomber and Training Air Command colours used between 1939 and 1945. The set covers the main temperate land camouflage shades for upper and lower surfaces, interior tones and the separate Trainer Yellow used on training and liaison aircraft. Bottled acrylic formulation is suitable for airbrush and brush application on scale aircraft models.

Advantages

The set groups eight historically referenced colours in convenient 17 ml dispenser bottles for controlled application. Colours include upper-surface and lower-surface shades plus interior tones, allowing consistent matching across bomber and trainer models from 1939–1945. Paints are water‑based acrylics designed for airbrushing and brushing, facilitating fine detail and surface coverage.

Suitable for

• Scale model aircraft (WWII RAF bombers and training types)
• Airbrush and brush painting of upper and lower surfaces
• Painting cockpits and interior structures
• Restoring or finishing historically accurate WWII RAF schemes

When it may not be suitable

This set is focused on RAF bomber and training aircraft colours from 1939–1945 and may not include colours required for non‑RAF or post‑war schemes. If you need modern RAF shades, imperial/foreign camouflage patterns, or large quantities for full‑scale applications, a wider selection or larger containers may be more appropriate.

How to use

Shake bottles before use. Thin with the appropriate acrylic thinner or water according to the chosen application and airbrush nozzle size; test spray on scrap material to adjust flow and opacity. Apply multiple thin coats for even coverage and allow drying between coats. Use direct brush application for small details and interior areas; for markings and stripes, mask and apply with controlled passes. Clean tools with water or acrylic cleaner while paint is wet.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended subjects: WWII RAF bombers and training aircraft from 1939–1945
• Required volume: 17 ml bottles are intended for modelling, not large‑scale repainting
• Compatibility: water‑based acrylics—check compatibility with existing finishes and primers
• Additional colours or thinners may be needed for weathering, varnishes or specific marking tones

Usage recommendations

Use a primer compatible with acrylic paints for best adhesion; thin paints for airbrush use and apply several light coats. For interior and cockpit areas use the Interior Grey‑Green tones; combine Trainer Yellow with Night Black striping where historically appropriate. Store bottles upright and seal tightly after use.
