US Navy And USMC H/Viz

Standard colours of US naval aircraft from 1950s till 1970s

From late 1944 until 1955 all US carrier-based aircraft wore Dark Sea Blue overall colour.

After 1955 till late 1970s upper surfaces of carrier-based US Navy and USMC attack planes were painted in Light Gull Grey, with Insignia White used on lower surfaces. The opposite combination was used in "solar-heat reflecting" scheme of naval transport, patrol and ASW aircraft (with Seaplane Grey used on land-based planes).

International Orange was dedicated to “high-viz” painting schemes and used on training and SAR planes.

The Blue Line paints are water-based acrylics optimised for use with a paint brush. Special formula developed and tested with top European brush-painting modellers. Ideal for usage in the wet-palette technique but also perfect for less experienced modellers and painting straight from the bottle. Highly pigmented and extremely well covering paints. After drying give perfectly even surface, without leaving traces of brushstrokes.
