This set offers the modeller the three colors which were officially specified as the basic camouflage colors for Luftwaffe day fighters in 1941; namely RLM 74, 75 and 76. Although RLM 74 was officially withdrawn in mid-1944, all these colors were in fact still in use until the end of World War Two. These colors were also extensively used for painting German night-fighter aircraft. The fourth color included in this set, RLM 04 Yellow, was commonly used for painting various quick recognition markings that were applied throughout the entire war. AKI paints are not only historically accurate and specially formulated with top quality components; they also have been designed taking into account the scale reduction effect*. AKI acrylic paints are ready to use straight from the bottle; simply shake, and the paint is ready to go. Dilution is not necessary when airbrushing AKI acrylic paints; however, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of AKI's specially formulated thinner AKI712. Useful for all acrylic paints, the AKI712 improves the performance of the paint and is vastly superior to most other available thinners, resulting in a greater degree of coverage when applied by brush.
This set contains:
AKI2007 RLM 74
AKI2008 RLM 75
AKI2009 RLM 76
AKI2091 RLM 04
*A model aircraft reflects less light than an actual full size aircraft; this means the color applied to the model must be of a lighter shade to look the same as the full sized version. If the same color tones were applied to each, the model would appear darker as it reflects less light.
