US Army Air Air Force paint set

Standard camouflage colours of USAAF planes from 1941 till 1945

Since mid-1941 USAAF adopted onto majority of its aircraft a standard camouflage scheme of Olive Drab No. 41 (with blotches of Medium Green No. 42 randomly applied to blur the edges of the plane) over Neutral Grey No. 43.

By late 1943, as a consequence of increasing air superiority on ETO, use of camouflage by USAAF was officially abandoned, however due to various reasons it was still being applied by some of the plane manufacturers till the end of war. In such case new colours were predominantly used - ANA 613 Olive Drab (lighter shade) over ANA 603 Sea Grey (more blueish tint).

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
