SABBIA

Mr.Paint Sabbia — modeling lacquer for the airbrush

Sabbia (sand beige) belongs to the palette of Italian military aviation from 1916 to 1943 and was used mainly as the base shade of desert and Mediterranean camouflage schemes. It is a lacquer-based paint, not a water-thinnable acrylic. It comes pre-thinned, ready to spray straight from the bottle, in a volume of roughly 30 ml. It dries quickly to a thin, smooth film with excellent coverage.

Use

• Base sand tone of desert and Mediterranean camouflage schemes on Italian aircraft.
• Works as an undercoat for mottled camouflage and as a solid area on its own.
• Applied with an airbrush in very thin coats; it is not intended for a brush.
• Thinned with lacquer (MRP) thinner, never with water.

Who it is for

For modelers of Italian aircraft, especially desert and African schemes, and for anyone who appreciates a hard, fast-drying lacquer surface.

The lacquer is flammable. Work in a well-ventilated space, use respiratory protection and a lacquer-based thinner, never water.
