SEA Camouflage FS 34079 from Mr.Paint is a water-thinnable acrylic from the Aqua line, a dark forest green and the darkest of the upper colors of the American camouflage scheme from Vietnam. It is a paint, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a kit but a model paint. The name is misleading only in appearance: SEA here does not mean the sea but South East Asia. It refers to the tactical camouflage scheme of the US Air Force that appeared from the middle of the 1960s on machines over Vietnam and is still counted among the most iconic aircraft camouflages. FS 34079 is the dark forest green in it, the darkest shade of the upper surfaces.
The camouflage combines two greens and a brown on the upper surfaces: this dark green FS 34079, the lighter medium green FS 34102 and the brown FS 30219. The fields are irregular and blend softly, and the two greens are close to each other in shade, as the scheme was meant to break up the silhouette of the aircraft against the jungle rather than create a sharp contrast. The underside of the machine is light gray, FS 36622; on aircraft for night operations and on gunships it was black instead of gray. In practice that means one thing: this green is one of four colors that only make sense together. Anyone building an F-4 Phantom II, an F-105 Thunderchief, an A-1 Skyraider, an F-100, an A-7 or a C-130 from Vietnam needs them all.
The Aqua line is a water-thinnable acrylic suitable for brush and airbrush. Watch out for one trap: the manufacturer offers exactly the same shade names in its lacquer (nitro) line as well, which is intended solely for the airbrush. You will not tell them apart by the name, only by the line. This paint is the acrylic one and it is thinned with water or with the acrylic thinner of the same line; nitro thinner does not belong in it.
For modelers who build American equipment from the Vietnam war and want a shade to the FS standard instead of an approximate green from an ordinary palette. On its own it will not paint the model, as the medium green, the brown and the light gray of the undersides belong with it.
A model paint, not a kit. A water-thinnable acrylic. Keep out of the reach of children and ensure ventilation and respiratory protection when spraying. Do not thin with nitro thinner.
