About product

Lifecolor RAAF Sky Blue FS25550

A light blue acrylic shade for the Royal Australian Air Force with a number to the American Federal Standard. In the logic of a camouflage scheme it fills the same role as the light blues in the German RLM system: it covers the undersides and separates them from the darker colors above.

The underside as a task of its own

The underside of a model tends to be underrated, and yet it is precisely what decides how an aircraft reads in a display case when seen from below. The light blue is applied to the underside of the wings, the fuselage under the spar and the lower part of the tail surfaces, and the boundary against the upper camouflage usually runs along the leading edge and the sides of the fuselage. Because it is a large continuous area, it is applied in thin coats and from the edges, so that the transition to the upper colors stays clean. A light blue also takes later shading well, so panel lines and traces of use show up on it.

Typical use

  • the undersides of Australian aircraft of the Second World War
  • a light counterweight to the earth and green upper shades
  • the light band on the lower part of the fuselage sides
  • accessories and diorama elements calling for a soft sky blue

Who it is for

Modelers of Allied equipment from the Pacific theater and everyone who assembles their palette by standard numbers. A complete scheme also needs the upper camouflage colors; without them the model stays in a single tone.

Keep out of the reach of children. Make sure there is adequate ventilation when spraying.

FAQ

On the undersides of the wings, the fuselage and the tail surfaces, where it forms a light counterweight to the darker upper colors.

Yes, they are two independent systems. The numbers are not converted between them, and shades always have to be taken according to the system given in the name.

No. It covers only the undersides; the upper camouflage is made up of separate shades.
