A dark green shade to the British standard, number 641. Postwar schemes of Royal Air Force machines, ten milliliters, a lacquer modeling paint.
Responsibility details are not available.
The number 641 belongs to the British technical standard for color shades that the armed services and industry alike went by after the Second World War. The dark green from this swatch fan covered the upper surfaces of Royal Air Force jet machines for several decades: you will meet it on the fighters and attack aircraft of the 1950s and 1960s, on machines with vertical takeoff and on later combat types, and outside aviation it was also carried by part of the British ground equipment and gear.
The tone is deep, with a cold cast and with no olive shift toward brown, so beside American and Soviet greens it looks markedly cooler. Paired with a dark sea gray it creates the classic two-color scheme; there are also overall variants, however, in which the green runs across the whole airframe including the lower surfaces. In small scales it pays to lighten the shade a little, because otherwise the model looks darker than the real machine in a photograph.
The bottle contains ten milliliters and the paint has a solvent-based lacquer foundation, so the corresponding lacquer thinner is what belongs to thinning it. It dries fast and forms a thin hard film that takes both masking during a two-color spray job and subsequent oil washes well. Before applying markings, draw a gloss coat over the surface. Close the bottle immediately after each dip and draw the paint out with a pipette or a dropper so that dirt from the airbrush does not get into what is left.
