WW2 Italian Airforce

Standard colours of ANR aircraft from 1943 till 1945

The Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana (ANR) was the air force of the Italian Social Republic (the Republic of Salo) that existed from start of German occupation of Italy in 09/1943 until the end of WW2. It operated aircraft both of Italian (including Macchi M.C.205 Veltro and Fiat G.55 Centauro) and German origin.

Whereas the German types mostly wore the standard Luftwaffe camouflage, the Italian originated planes started operations in original Italian schemes with NC4 and VOS2 on upper surfaces, with lower parts in GAC1.

Later many Italian originated planes were repainted into Luftwaffe RLM 74+75/76 scheme or even a unique mixture of Italian and German colours.

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.
