The Royal Air Force is world-famous not only due to it's combat achievements, but also thanks to supreme quality of it's aerobatic / display teams.

The Yellowjacks (formed in RAF Valley in 1963, existed till 1965, flying Folland Gnat) and the famous

Red Arrows (officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, formed in late 1964 at RAF Fairford, part of the Central Flying School, flying Folland Gnat till 1979, since then BAe Hawk T1).

Apart from the colours used by the above mentioned teams, this paint set also covers the unique "Raspberry Ripple" livery of British test aircraft flown by ETPS, A&AEE and RAE.

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.
