WWII ALLIED AIRCRAFT COCKPIT COLORS – RC MARKERS SET

What the set is for

A themed set of modeling markers devoted to the cockpit colors of Allied aircraft of the Second World War. The inside of a cockpit differed in shade between the individual air forces and was full of small fittings on top of that: levers, frames, the seat, the seat harness, the instrument panel and the side consoles. Each of those elements is a different color, and on such a small area accuracy matters more than the amount of paint.

How a marker is used

You apply the paint straight with the tip, with no mixing, no thinning and no airbrush. The set belongs among the markers for picking out and aging a surface, so it also suits giving an already painted cockpit an extra lift.

• a set of modeling markers
• aimed at the cockpits of Allied aircraft of the Second World War
• the paint is applied straight with the tip
• suitable for the small fittings of a cockpit and for setting them apart
• the list of shades is given on the packaging of the set

Usage tips

Paint the cockpit before you glue the fuselage halves together; after that you cannot get inside. Wash and degrease the surfaces and apply the paint in thin coats with a pause for drying. With a closed canopy only a fraction of the space is visible, so concentrate the work on what will stay in view. Test the shade on an offcut, not straight on a cockpit part. The exact procedure for this set is given in the instructions on the packaging.

Who it is for

It suits builders of Second World War aircraft who want a well-detailed cockpit and do not want to set up a whole painting rig for a few small areas. The package holds the set of markers stated; the model, further paints, varnishes and thinners are not included, unless stated otherwise.
