Early Luftwaffe/Orange

Standard camouflage colours of Luftwaffe planes from 1937 till 1941.

The famous "two-green" splinter camouflage (70+71/65) was used on majority of Luftwaffe aircraft from early 1937 till November/ December 1939, when Luftwaffe day fighters switched to more offensive scheme of 02+71/65. The latter was again modified around May 1940 to include soft mottling of RLM 02 (or 71) on fuselage sides, engines and tail.

Early camouflage of 70+71/65 remained in use on transport aircraft, bombers and ground attack planes till mid-1944.

The Orange Line paints are specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners. It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use. All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
