Mr.Paint PC-12 (WWI R.A.F.)

Mr.Paint PC-12 (WWI R.A.F.) is a lacquer-based modeling paint from the Slovak manufacturer Mr.Paint. It is not a kit, but a paint in a 30 ml bottle, pre-thinned and ready to spray with an airbrush straight from the bottle. Lacquer paints are thinned with lacquer thinner, not with water; they dry very quickly and form an extremely thin, smooth layer with strong coverage that preserves even fine engraving and surface detail. It is applied with an airbrush only.

PC-12 (Protective Covering No. 12) is the khaki dope shade used in the First World War on the fabric covering of the upper surfaces of British RFC and RAF aircraft. It is a browner alternative to the more widespread PC-10. The exact tone varied with the age and fading of the finish.

Use

• Applied with an airbrush only, in thin coats straight from the bottle.
• Spray it over a cured primer, which evens out both coverage and adhesion.
• The fast drying allows early masking and layering of further shades.
• For thinning and cleaning use the lacquer thinner of the same brand, never water.
• Khaki dope color of British First World War fabric

Who it is for

For modelers who want to paint the khaki doped fabric of a British First World War aircraft in a shade faithful to the standard. Given the application technique, it will be appreciated mainly by airbrush users, from more advanced beginners to experienced builders.

Lacquer paints are flammable and contain solvents. Apply only with an airbrush in a well-ventilated area, away from open flame, and use a respirator or other respiratory protection. Keep out of the reach of children.
