IJAAF #1 Hairyokushoku (Greenish Gray Version)

IJAAF No. 1 Hairyokushoku (Greenish Gray Version) — a Mr.Paint lacquer airbrush shade

This is a modeling lacquer paint by Mr.Paint in a bottle with a capacity of 30 ml. The paint is pre-thinned and intended exclusively for spraying with an airbrush. The shade belongs to the range of authentic colors of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force (IJAAF) and represents the light greenish gray variant of the color hairyokushoku, that is, one of the period interpretations of this army aviation color.

Use

• It is sprayed with an airbrush straight from the bottle, or thinned with lacquer (cellulose) thinner, never with water.
• Suitable for the upper and lower surfaces of Japanese army aircraft in scales from 1:72 to 1:32.
• It dries quickly and forms a thin, smooth film with a fine semi-matte to satin finish.
• It holds superbly on plastic, resin and photo-etch, ideally over a base primer.

Who it is for

It will be appreciated by modelers focused on Japanese Second World War aircraft who want period-accurate shades with no need for their own mixing. Working with lacquer paints assumes experience with an airbrush and the corresponding setup.

A solvent-based lacquer paint is flammable and is thinned only with lacquer thinner, never with water. Spray in a well-ventilated area with a respirator.
