The Italeri USAF VIETNAM WAR Paint Set is a specialized complete set of acrylic model paints, designed for precisely replicating the camouflage schemes of American aircraft and helicopters from the post-1945 era, with a particular focus on those used during the Vietnam War. This is a crucial item for modelers aiming for historical authenticity in their projects.
Key Features and Set Contents
The set includes six 20 ml bottles of high-quality Italeri acrylic paints. These paints feature:
High Pigmentation: Ensures excellent coverage and color depth.
Fast Drying: Allows for efficient work and application of subsequent layers without long waiting times.
Ease of Application: The ideal consistency allows for smooth brush painting and airbrushing, after thinning if desired.
Matte Finish: All included paints feature a matte finish, typical for military camouflage.
Application and Compatibility
This paint set is specifically designed for painting scale models of American aircraft from the Cold War and Vietnam War era, such as F-4 Phantom II fighters, A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft, B-52 Stratofortress bombers, and UH-1 Iroquois helicopters. The colors have been carefully selected to accurately represent the standard painting schemes of the United States Air Force (USAF), US Navy, and US Marine Corps (USMC) from that period.
Italeri acrylic paints are compatible with typical acrylic paint thinners and modeling tools such as synthetic and natural brushes, as well as airbrushes. They can be applied to surfaces made of polystyrene, resin, and other popular modeling materials.
