WWII RAF – P.R.U. Pink

P.R.U. Pink - RAF Second World War (Mr.Paint)

A very pale pink, tuned almost to white, from the lacquer range of Mr.Paint. It reproduces the camouflage shade in which British reconnaissance units painted some Spitfires for photographic reconnaissance at low altitudes. Pale pink proved itself at dawn and dusk and under low cloud, when a machine blended better with the haze and the light of the sky. The real shade was very light, far less saturated than it is sometimes depicted. The paint is a solvent-based lacquer supplied ready for spraying, with a fine pigment and fast drying to a smooth flat surface.

Use

• Intended for the airbrush; the paint is ready for spraying directly and usually calls for no thinning.
• If needed it is thinned with the lacquer thinner of this brand, not with water.
• A light shade comes out best over a light primer; apply it in thin coats.
• Suitable for reconnaissance Spitfires and other low-flying photographic reconnaissance machines of the RAF.
• Once dry it makes a suitable base for fine patinating and for decals.

Who it is for

For modelers of British reconnaissance aircraft of the Second World War who work with an airbrush and with lacquer paints. Mr.Paint lacquers are not primarily intended for the brush.

A lacquer-based paint: flammable. Spray in a well ventilated space and with respiratory protection (a respirator), out of the reach of children and away from an open flame.
