A light gray shade from the Gunze Mr. Color range in a ten milliliter bottle, intended above all for the airbrush.
Responsibility details are not available.
Light gray is one of the shades a modeler gets through fastest. It covers the undersides of aircraft, cockpit interiors, underwing pods and the whole airframes of postwar machines, and it serves equally well as a base on which darker tones are then tried out. A scale model also takes a shade a little lighter than the real thing: the smaller the model, the more of the color its surface absorbs in shadow.
The Mr. Color range is in fact a lacquer, not water-thinnable. The binder is solvent-based, which is why the paint dries in a few tens of minutes, forms a firm smooth film and takes masking tape without coming away with it. It is thinned with the thinner of the same range, and the usual ratio is roughly one part thinner to one or two parts paint, depending on how thick the paint in the bottle is.
It should be used at an open window or in an extracted booth; solvent fumes are nothing that should be inhaled. It is hard to apply with a brush, because it dries before the stroke can be leveled out.
A cured coat is a rewarding base for decals. Given a gloss clear coat it takes a decal without silvering, and the wash that follows runs exactly where it should.
It also makes sense to keep a larger stock of light gray because it serves as a starting point for mixing. A drop of black turns it into a tone for panel lines, a drop of white into faded upper surfaces exposed to the sun, and a little blue added shifts the shade into a cool position suited to the undersides of fuselages.
