ICM 3016 Acrylic Paint Set for WWII Soviet aviation (early period) 5x12ml

The proper selection of colors is the foundation of every modeling project, especially when it comes to recreating historical machines with attention to authentic period colors. The ICM 3016 Acrylic Paint Set for WWII Soviet aviation (early period) 5x12ml is a professional acrylic paint set developed by the renowned ICM company, allowing for precise painting of early World War II Soviet aircraft models.

This set is particularly dedicated to representing Soviet aircraft used during the early period of the conflict, from the late 1930s up to the mid-1940s, covering the initial stage of World War II. During this time, distinctive color schemes were applied to aircraft such as the I-16, MiG-3, LaGG-3, IL-2 Shturmovik, and bombers like the DB-3 and Pe-2, which were used on the Eastern Front by the Red Army. The war, which began in June 1941 with Operation Barbarossa, required rapid painting of aircraft in camouflage patterns typical for that period, and the correct choice of colors helps to capture the atmosphere of those events.
