Mod.Xzech AF Vol.1

Standard colours of Czech aircraft since 1990s

The Czech AF was one of the first amongst the former Warsaw Pact armies to develop a totally new camouflage scheme (after more than 20 years it is still in active use). The new colours were first observed in mid-1990s on eleven W-3 helicopters and were later used on Mi-2, Mi-8/17/171 and Mi-24V.

In mid-2000s the same scheme was also adopted on Let-410 transports and (without green colour) on L-159A/T1 light fighters/trainers.

Since 2005 Czech AF operates 12 JAS 39C and 2 JAS 39D in primary fighter role, which feature a standard Gripen scheme of FS36173 over FS36373.

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.
