Paint Set VALLEJO Model Air – US Army Air Corps European Theater Operations (ETO) WWII, 8×17 ml bottles, colours: Dark Olive Drab, Neutral Gray, Medium Gunship Gray, US Light Green, USAF Green, Aluminium, Green, Yellow

VALLEJO Model Air paint set contains eight 17 ml acrylic paints formulated for recreating the main camouflage schemes used by US Army Air Corps aircraft in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during WWII. The colours are suitable for both airbrush and brush application on scale aircraft models and are intended to match historical tones used on wartime US military aircraft.

Advantages

The paints offer fine pigmentation and smooth flow for consistent coverage and easy blending. They thin readily for airbrush use while remaining usable with a brush for detail work. The set includes a range of matte and metallic tones to reproduce fuselage, control surfaces, and identification markings accurately.

Suitable for

• Scale model aircraft from WWII, especially US Army Air Corps types
• Airbrush painting and base-coating
• Detail painting with a brush and weathering base layers
• Historical dioramas and restoration mock-ups

Когда может не подойти

Набор ориентирован на окраску исторических схем и может не подойти при необходимости точного соответствия редким или индивидуальным оттенкам, не перечисленным в наборе. Для крупномасштабных промышленных покрытий или поверхностей с интенсивной эксплуатацией эти акриловые краски не предназначены.

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use. Thin the paints with the manufacturer’s recommended thinner or water for airbrush application until the desired viscosity is achieved.

Clean tools with water or appropriate acrylic cleaner after painting.

Usage recommendations

For best historical results, compare the set colours with reference photos and apply in thin layers with progressive shading; use masking for sharp demarcations and a clear coat to protect finished surfaces.
