Israel Defense Forces (Armor) SAND 1959-1980 1-oz Bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic paint designed specifically for airbrush application, offering precise control and smooth coverage. This particular color replicates the authentic sand hue used by the Israel Defense Forces on armor between 1959 and 1980, making it ideal for scale modelers and military enthusiasts seeking historical accuracy.

• Solvent-based acrylic paint thinned with Acetone and other media
• 1-ounce bottle, airbrush-ready consistency (too thin for brush painting)
• Requires ventilation during spraying for safety
• Dries to a glossy finish suitable for applying decals (except flat or matte colors)
• Cleanup is simple with inexpensive Acetone

Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color paint excels in pigment quality and color accuracy, especially for historical military modeling. While other paints may require additional thinning or produce uneven finishes when airbrushed, this product is formulated to ensure smooth application right out of the bottle. Its packaging in soft plastic bottles helps keep the paint fresh, though thinning media may evaporate over time; fortunately, this can be restored using Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner. As a special order item, it is requested early Monday mornings and ships within 4 to 8 days, providing reliability despite its niche use.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The Israel Defense Forces (Armor) SAND 1959-1980 Tru-Color Paint offers superior airbrush readiness thanks to its solvent-based acrylic formula thinned to perfection with Acetone. This ensures efficient atomization without clogging or uneven texture. Its strong pigment concentration retains color vibrancy even if the thinner levels drop, allowing for rejuvenation and extended product life. The glossy finish enhances decal adhesion and durability, a crucial factor for detailed military models. Additionally, its compatibility with primers on metal and various plastics makes it versatile across modeling materials.
