MRP-A111 SEA Camouflage FS30219

Mr.Paint SEA Camouflage FS 30219 (MRP Aqua, 17 ml)

This is a modeling paint, not a kit. The product belongs to the MRP Aqua range from the manufacturer Mr.Paint — that is a water-thinnable acrylic, a different technology from the original lacquer range of the same brand. The paint is supplied in a dropper bottle of 17 ml and is intended for airbrush and brush. It is thinned with water or with the thinner of the Aqua range, has a low odor and the tools are cleaned with water or the appropriate cleaner. It is not a lacquer — it needs no aggressive organic thinners.

The FS 30219 shade is a brown (sandy brown) tone from the American camouflage known as SEA, Southeast Asia, that is from the Southeast Asian (Vietnam) camouflage scheme. That was the standard on tactical aircraft and helicopters of the US Air Force during the war in Vietnam; typically it combines two green shades with a brown one and a light undersurface. This shade forms the brown component of the scheme.

Use

• Suitable for American aircraft and helicopters in the SEA scheme, but also for other hardware where the brown FS 30219 tone comes into its own.
• Airbrush: apply it in thin coats and thin it further with water or the thinner of the Aqua range as needed.
• Brush: rather several thin coats than one heavy one — the area closes up with no brush marks.
• Apply it onto a primed and degreased surface; let the paint cure thoroughly before masking.
• Clean the tools and the airbrush with water or the Aqua range cleaner immediately after use, before the paint dries.
• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles.

Who the paint is for

For modelers who build American hardware of the Vietnam war era and need an accurate camouflage shade, and for those who want to work with a water-thinnable acrylic — without the strong odor of thinners, with simpler cleaning up and lower demands on ventilating the workplace.

A water-thinnable acrylic. Intended for modeling use; it is not a toy. Keep out of the reach of children, work in a ventilated room when spraying and use respiratory and eye protection. Do not let the paint dry in the airbrush.
