Revell Email Color 310 Lufthansa Yellow — Synthetic Enamel Paint, 14 ml

Shade 310 from the Revell Email Color range is a rich traffic yellow matching standard RAL 1028. The paint is a solvent-based synthetic enamel, not an acrylic: it dries by oxidation, forms a hard, abrasion-resistant film once cured, and does not attack the plastic surface. It comes in a metal bottle with a volume of 14 ml and has a satin gloss level — a middle step between matte and full gloss. The shade name is the manufacturer's catalog name for this color; it is not any licensed or official color of any airline.

Use

• National and company markings on civilian airliner models — fuselage stripes, tail fins, engine nacelles.
• Warning and caution markings: stripes, signage, airport ground equipment, tow tractors, boarding stairs.
• Details on civilian and utility vehicles where a clean traffic yellow is needed.
• Mixing shades — a rich yellow is a good base for orange and light green tones.

Working and thinning

It is applied with a brush or an airbrush. For spraying, thin it with Revell Color Mix or plain mineral spirits, which is also used to clean tools. Always mix the paint thoroughly down to the bottom of the bottle, since the pigment settles. Yellow covers poorly, so apply it over a light base (a white base coat or a light primer), and prefer several thin coats to one heavy one. The manufacturer recommends applying the next coat a few hours later; full curing takes about a day.

Who the paint is for

• Modelers of civilian airliners and airport ground equipment.
• Builders of cars, utility and construction vehicles.
• Anyone working with the Revell enamel paint system who is expanding their range.

This is a modeling paint, not a kit. A flammable liquid — keep away from open flames and ignition sources. Fumes irritate the airways: work in a well-ventilated area and use respiratory protection when spraying. Keep out of the reach of children.
