The undersurfaces of a model live in a light world of their own, and a shade behaves differently there than anywhere else. Light Blue FS35180 Matt is a matte acrylic paint from the Lifecolor brand with a matte degree of surface and the number of the American Federal Standard color standard in the name. It is a typical tone for the surfaces that face downward — and that is exactly where it is decided whether the result will look convincing.
Light comes from above, whether it is the sun or the lighting of a display case. The undersurfaces of a real aircraft are therefore permanently in their own shadow, and a blue-gray tone on them looks appreciably darker than on a sample. On a real machine, though, this darkening is partly evened out by light reflected from the ground and by scattered light from the sky. A model stands on a shelf where there is no sky and the reflection from the base is weak, so the underside goes darker than it should. In practice that means on the undersurfaces you can allow yourself a tone markedly lighter than the one you would choose from a sample, and in small scales this shift is greater still. The test is simple: put the model in the display case, step back and look at it from below at eye level. If the underside merges into darkness, the shade is too low.
For builders of aircraft who are dealing with undersurfaces and interiors, and for modelers of military vehicles looking for a cool light tone for their palette.
Keep out of the reach of children. When spraying, work in a well-ventilated space.
