This U.S. Navy DECK GREEN 20-G (1943) paint in a convenient 2-oz bottle is specially formulated for airbrush use, offering a solvent-based acrylic option perfect for precision applications. It features a pigment thinned with acetone and other media for smooth spraying and quick drying.

Compared to standard hobby paints, this DECK GREEN 20-G Tru-Color model is too thin for traditional brush painting but excels in airbrush performance, delivering crisp and even coverage. Its specialized formula matches the historical 1943 U.S. Navy deck green color, making it a preferred choice for accurate scale modeling. The paint’s packaging in soft plastic bottles may lead to some evaporation of the thinner over time, but the pigment remains intact and can be rejuvenated using Tru-Color’s 'Rejuvenator' or thinner solutions, extending usability well beyond opening.
