Clear Doped Linen – variant 2 (WWI)

Clear Doped Linen - variant 2 (WWI) (Mr.Paint)

Another variant of the doped linen shade from the lacquer range of Mr.Paint. It reproduces the natural linen covering of First World War aircraft impregnated with clear dope, which gave the fabric a warm, translucent cream to light ocher tone. This variant differs slightly from the first in saturation and warmth - the real fabric varied from aircraft to aircraft and from maker to maker, so two variants help to hit a particular subject. The paint is a solvent-based lacquer supplied ready for spraying, with a fine pigment and quick drying to a smooth, finely satin surface.

Use

• Intended for the airbrush; the paint is ready for direct spraying and usually needs no thinning.
• If thinning is needed, it is thinned with the lacquer thinner of this brand, not with water or alcohol.
• It is applied in thin coats on a cleaned surface; for faithful linen a light base works well.
• Ideal for the fabric areas of the wings and fuselage of First World War aircraft.
• Once dry it forms a good base for decals and for gentle weathering of the rib tapes.

Who it is for

For modelers of First World War aircraft who work with an airbrush and lacquer paints and want a faithful doped linen shade in an alternative tone. Mr.Paint lacquers are not primarily intended for brush painting.

A lacquer-based paint - flammable. Spray in a well-ventilated area and with your airways protected by a respirator, away from children and open flame.
