A canvas shade from the Gunze Acrysion acrylic range, water-thinnable, to be laid on by spraying.
Responsibility details are not available.
Canvas color is a light beige tone derived from undyed impregnated fabric. Such a color belonged to ships' sails, tent sections, the covers of trucks and above all to the coverings of the wings and fuselages of aircraft from the days when fabric was stretched over a wooden frame and treated with dope.
It is exactly on First World War machines that the shade is crucial. Undyed doped fabric showed through and formed characteristic lighter bands between the ribs. If this warm light tone is captured on a model, the covering looks like cloth and not like plastic.
In practice: light beige shades have weaker covering power, so it makes sense to spray them onto a unified light base. Build the coats up gradually and let the surface flash off between them, otherwise paint will collect in the corners around the stiffeners and flood the fine ribbing of the covering.
The Acrysion range is thinned with water and the manufacturer recommends applying it with an airbrush. A dry surface takes later weathering with oils as well as work with dry pigments, which in the case of canvas do a great deal: dirty streaks under the wings, dust on the underside and darker marks around the lacing.
Anyone building ships will appreciate the same shade on sails and on the canvas covers of boats. On large areas it is advisable to keep the paint at the same consistency, so that uneven bands do not show up against the light. It helps to go over the whole area at the end with a single unifying semi-transparent pass.
