US Desert Sand (FS 30279)

Mr.Paint US Desert Sand (FS 30279)

A lacquer-based modeling paint from the manufacturer Mr.Paint (MRP) in a desert sand shade. The code FS 30279 in the name designates the specific shade. The paint has a thin, fluid consistency, is pre-thinned and ready to spray with an airbrush straight from the bottle. The shade suits modern American military vehicles and aircraft deployed in desert settings. The package contains 30 ml.

Use

• Intended exclusively for spraying with an airbrush; thanks to its thin consistency the paint is ready for use straight from the bottle.
• Apply in several thin coats rather than one thick one; ideally over a primer.
• The recommended pressure is about 10–25 psi, depending on the airbrush and the nozzle.
• If needed, thin it with the manufacturer's lacquer thinner of the same range; the same thinner can be used to clean the airbrush after work.
• It bonds to plastic, resin and metal.

Who it is for

For modelers working with an airbrush who build modern American aircraft or ground vehicles and are looking for an accurate desert sand shade with a quick-drying, durable lacquer surface.

A solvent-based, flammable paint intended for the airbrush only. Work in a well-ventilated area, use a respirator and gloves, protect from open flame and keep out of the reach of children.
