Early US Navy/USMC Set

Standard camouflage colours of US naval planes from 1919 till 1942

After end of WW1 US naval aviation (both US Navy and US Marines) adopted a standard aircraft camouflage of overall Aluminium Dope, initially supplemented by Naval Aircraft Grey on all metal parts (ruled out in mid-1930, when aluminium paint provided enough anticorrosion protection). Orange Yellow was used as high-viz feature on upper wing surface.

In 1941 a new scheme was implemented of overall NS Light Grey. It remained in use only for 10 months, replaced by final pre-WW2 scheme of NS Sea Grey / Blue Grey over NS Light Grey.

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.
