About product

British aircraft from the grass airfield to the deck

British aircraft camouflage was divided during the war into two branches that look completely different. Machines operating over the islands and over Europe carried a brown-and-green or gray-and-green segmented pattern on the upper surfaces and a light underside, whereas the aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm had darker, cooler, gray-blue tones built against the sea. The set is named so as to cover both, which is why the modeler will find both the earthy tones and the naval grays in it.

The procedure the set fits into

It is used on an assembled and filled airframe after the joints have been filled. The light underside goes first, drawn over the edges of the wing, then the upper surfaces are divided into two tones with a mask or freehand, and finally the transition is tuned. The set is built for spraying, so the pattern can be done with a soft edge the way the British workshops really did it. The cockpit, the landing gear bays and the insides of the covers are painted separately.

  • The upper segmented camouflage of day and night machines alike.
  • The light lower surfaces and their transition over the leading edge.
  • The carrier schemes of the Fleet Air Arm over the sea.
  • A ground for the later lightening of panels and picking out of the panel lines.

What to add to the set

Shades for the cockpit, for the metal exhaust areas and for rubber tires cannot be expected in it; those are bought separately. The same goes for decals and masks for the glazing, without which even the best spraying will not do. Individual bottles of the same line are sold by the piece, so the palette is extended gradually according to which machine comes to the table.

FAQ

For British aircraft of the Second World War, both the land-based units of the Royal Air Force and the machines of the Fleet Air Arm operating from decks.

The number is not stated here, as the name of the item does not give it.

The set is built for the outer camouflage surfaces. Shades for the interior, for metals and for tires need to be obtained separately.

For a faithful soft transition of the pattern, yes. The shades can be applied with a brush, but the boundary between the fields will come out sharper than it should.
