Standard colours of RAF P.R. aircraft from 1940 till 1945

Starting from instruction no A.926 (12/1940) aircraft of Photo Reconnaissance Units (P.R.U.) were to be coloured "in accordance with operational requirements", without the need to conform with general RAF standards. First P.R. planes wore overall Camotint Green. Later P.R. Blue (for high-alt missions, sanctioned from 10/1944) and P.R. Pink (for low-alt missions / low-clouds-base conditions) were used on most of P.R. planes, except for those operating in North Africa and Far East, which used overall Royal Blue instead (better suited for local conditions).

Contents:
- HTK-B024 P.R. Pink
- HTK-B025 Interior Grey-Green
- HTK-B034 Medium Sea Grey
- HTK-B042 P.R. Blue
- HTK-B051 Camotint Green
- HTK-B055 Royal Blue

The Blue Line paints are water-based acrylics optimised for use with a paint brush. Special formula developed and tested with top European brush-painting modellers. Ideal for usage in the wet-palette technique but also perfect for less experienced modellers and painting straight from the bottle. Highly pigmented and extremely well covering paints. After drying give perfectly even surface, without leaving traces of brushstrokes.
