RAF DAY FIGHTER SCHEME SET

RAF Day Fighter Scheme, an AK Interactive acrylic set

This is a set of acrylic paints, not a kit. It contains the shades needed for painting aircraft models in the day fighter scheme that RAF Fighter Command adopted in August 1941 and used until 1947. The scheme consists of two upper colors, a lighter undersurface tone and a color for the tail bands and the propeller spinners.

Use

• Acrylic paints thinned with water or with the manufacturer's acrylic thinner; for brush as well as airbrush.
• The upper surfaces are sprayed in a two-color camouflage with soft transitions, the underside in the light tone.
• Apply them over a primer in thin coats.
• Coating the surface with a gloss varnish before the decals is recommended.

Who the set is for

For modelers of British fighters of the Second World War who want the period-correct shades of the day scheme together.

Acrylic paints: they are thinned with water or with an acrylic thinner, but even so work in a ventilated space. It is not part of a kit.
