MRP-A084 U.S. NAVY LIGHT GULL GREY FS36440

Mr.Paint MRP-A084 U.S. Navy Light Gull Grey FS 36440 (MRP Aqua, 17 ml)

A modeling paint from the manufacturer Mr.Paint, Aqua range. Paints with the MRP-A code are water-thinnable acrylics — unlike the classic MRP lacquer range, they are thinned with water or acrylic thinner from the same range, have minimal odor, and can be applied with both airbrush and brush. Supplied in a 17 ml dropper bottle, pre-thinned for spraying. Light Gull Grey is a light gray shade for the upper surfaces of postwar US Navy carrier aircraft, typically paired with a white underside. The code FS 36440 is this shade's designation in the color standard; the paint is listed as satin.

Use

• Upper surfaces of US Navy and US Marine Corps carrier aircraft in the postwar gray-and-white scheme.
• Paired with white on the undersides — the classic two-tone scheme of naval aircraft.
• Airbrush application: the paint is ready to spray, and can be further thinned with water or the manufacturer's acrylic thinner if needed.
• Brush application: apply in thin coats and let each dry.
• A light primer under a light gray unifies the base and improves the resulting shade.

Who the Paint Is For

For modelers building postwar-era US Navy carrier aircraft who want a precisely defined shade instead of a generic gray. Anyone painting at home with no extraction booth who wants to avoid lacquer solvents will appreciate the water-thinnable base.

A water-thinnable acrylic. Shake thoroughly before use. Work in a well-ventilated room and use respiratory protection when spraying — even an acrylic paint forms an aerosol. Protect from frost, keep out of the reach of children. Clean the airbrush and brushes right after use with water or the manufacturer's cleaner.
