USAF Vietnam Orange

Standard camouflage colours of USAF planes in 1960s-70s

In 1960s USAF introduced two new painting schemes:

Air Defence Command aircraft, responsible for defence of US homeland from hostile air raids, gained overall ADC Grey coat (the scheme was officially introduced in 1959 and subsequently used by USAF and US ANG air defence aircraft).

In 1966 the "South East Asia" scheme (SEA), also known as "Vietnam Scheme" was introduced on USAF aircraft of Tactical and Strategic Air Commands (TAC and SAC).

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.
