This U.S. Army-Navy Air Corps SAND ANA-616 (North Africa) Tru-Color paint comes in a 1-ounce bottle and is specially formulated for airbrush use. It is a solvent-based acrylic paint, thinned with acetone and other media, ensuring smooth application and vibrant colors.

• Solvent-based acrylic formula thinned with acetone and other media
• Airbrush-ready consistency, not suitable for brush painting due to thinness
• Dries to a glossy finish ideal for decal application (all shades except flat or matte)
• Requires proper ventilation during use and easy clean-up with inexpensive acetone
• Packaged in soft plastic bottles that may require reconstitution with Tru-Color’s “Rejuvenator” or thinner

Compared to traditional model paints, this Tru-Color paint adheres well to metals when used with a primer, and can also be applied successfully on plastics. Unlike older or thicker formulations, its airbrush-ready thinning offers superior control and finish quality, particularly for scale modeling enthusiasts aiming for historical accuracy. This paint stands out for balancing airbrush precision with vibrant color retention over time, making it an industry-standard choice for North Africa WWII aircraft replicas.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The Tru-Color Paint technology uses a solvent-based acrylic pigment that allows quick drying to a glossy finish, perfect for professional decal applications. Its acetone-based thinning ensures a smooth, controlled spray pattern that enhances detail and accuracy for airbrush users. Additionally, its composition reduces the need for frequent thinning or mixing, while the simple acetone-based cleanup and reactivation with Tru-Color’s proprietary rejuvenator extend the paint's lifespan and usability. Special order availability guarantees fresh batches typically shipped in 4–8 days, ensuring quality and consistency for precision modelers and hobbyists.
