Modern Rn Fleet Air Arm V.1

Standard colours of RN FAA fixed wing aircraft since 1945

Since the end of WW2 the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm adopted a standard camouflage scheme of Extra Dark Sea Grey over Sky, used both on propeller and first jet aircraft. The scheme was modified in late 1950s with White replacing Sky colour and in such form it was used on last classical fixed-wing jet strike aircraft of FAA including F-4K Phantom FG.1 and Buccaneer S.2, but also on Sea Harriers FRS.1. Camouflage of the latter was modified in 1982 during Falklands / Malvinas war by adoption of Medium Sea Grey over Barley Grey. All Sea Harriers were later repainted to overall Dark Sea Grey and ended their service in overall Medium Sea Grey livery introduced in 1995.

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.
