Six oil paints for aircraft models: a translucent smoke tone for exhaust stains and five shades for fading camouflage.
Responsibility details are not available.
An aircraft ages quite differently from a ground vehicle. The upper surfaces spend whole months in direct sun and their shade creeps toward the light, while the underside stays relatively clean and changes mainly around the exhausts, the drains and the filler caps. To that come panels replaced after repair, oversprayed national markings and the dark streaks running back from the engine along the whole side.
The shades in the package follow this pattern. The translucent smoke tone serves for exhaust stains and oily streaks, the pair of yellows moves dark yellow and sand finishes toward a sun-bleached state, the blue pigment prepares the fading of naval finishes, the sap green does the same for green camouflage, and the creamy brown generally warms up any base that looks too cold.
How far the fading goes depends on where the machine served. An aircraft from the Pacific or from North Africa lost its saturation in a single season, while one operating over England kept its original tone considerably longer. Decide how far to go with the lightening accordingly.
The smoke tone is thinned very heavily and laid down in several thin coats along the direction of the airflow. A single thick coat leaves a stain that no amount of blending will put right. The other shades are applied as small dots in the middle of a panel and drawn outward from there.
Always keep in mind that oils need a smooth gloss surface underneath. In a matte texture the pigment settles and the color stays where it landed. Every coat therefore has to be left to dry thoroughly.
