Modern Belgian Vo.2

Standard colours of Belgian aircraft since 1990s

Since the withdrawal from operations of many aircraft types after the end of the cold war (in early 1990s), the Belgian AF (renamed Air Component of the Belgian Armed Forces in 2002) has used limited number of colours.

F-16AM/BM fleet wears the standard three-colour F-16 scheme of FS36270, FS36118 and FS36375. The latter two colours are also used on current camouflage scheme of Alpha Jets (since 2005 detached to the "Advanced Jet Training School" at Cazaux, France).

Westland Sea King Mk.48s (SAR variant) wear a unique scheme of BS Olive Green and BS Light Stone wrap-around, while the most modern helicopters feature FS34079 Dark Green for army use (A109BA, NH90 TTH) or FS26440 Light Gull Grey for navy use (NH90 MTH).

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.
