Unlike traditional model paints that may require multiple thinning steps, this paint arrives ready to use with consistent flow for airbrushing. It is notably thinner than standard brush paints, so it is not recommended for brush application. Most colors in this series dry to a gloss finish, making them ideal for applying decals without compromising adhesion or appearance.

Key technical advantages include Tru-Color’s special solvent blend that maintains pigment stability and color accuracy even after storage. While the soft plastic bottle packaging might allow some of the thinner media to evaporate over time, the pigment itself remains intact. This means the paint can be rejuvenated easily using Tru-Color’s recommended Rejuvenator or Thinner to restore its original airbrush quality.

This product is a special order paint that is requested early Monday mornings with a shipping window of 4-8 days. Professional modelers who demand authentic, historically accurate finishes and unmatched performance will find this paint a valuable part of their collection.
