S011 Light Gull Gray - (Semi Gloss) Spray

Gunze Mr.Color Spray S011 Light Gull Gray (Semi Gloss)

A lacquer aerosol with a volume of 40 ml from the Japanese brand Gunze, the Mr.Color Spray range. The Light Gull Gray shade is a light neutral gray that American naval aviation (the US Navy) wore on the upper surfaces of carrier aircraft - from the 1950s through the whole Cold War and on to modern machines. The surface dries to a semi-gloss: the realistic look of an aircraft in service, neither glossy nor completely matte. The shade matches the standard FS 36440.

Use

• A spray for modelers without an airbrush - it is sprayed straight from the can, without thinning.
• Shake it thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes before spraying so that the pigment is mixed evenly.
• Apply it in thin coats from a distance of roughly 25 cm; several light coats hold better than one thick one.
• Spray in warm, dry conditions - damp air can create a white haze.
• Lacquer attacks bare plastic: spray delicate parts carefully, ideally over a primer.

Who it is for

For builders of US Navy aircraft models (the Cold War as well as the modern era) and for anyone who needs a light aviation gray in semi-gloss. A semi-gloss surface is a good base under decals and under subsequent washes that bring out panel lines. Matte and gloss Mr.Color clear coats are available as well for fine-tuning the final surface.

Mr.Color Spray is a solvent-based lacquer aerosol - flammable and aggressive to bare plastic. Use it in a well-ventilated area with a respirator, away from open flame.
