Gunze Sangyo C114 RLM23 Red – Cellulose Model Paint, 10 ml

Gunze Sangyo C114 RLM23 Red is a high-quality cellulose model paint designed for the precise reproduction of historic aviation colors. This product comes from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Gunze Sangyo (Mr.Hobby), known for providing modelers with paints of high pigmentation and excellent adhesion to plastics.

The RLM23 Red shade is an accurate reconstruction of the color used by the German military aviation, Luftwaffe, on aircraft from the World War II era. This color was primarily used for marking identification elements—such as squadron numbers, decorative elements, and insignia distinguishing commander aircraft—mainly on fighter, bomber, and training aircraft. The paint allows for an authentic effect in accordance with historical documentation, which will be appreciated especially by modelers building replicas of aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, or Junkers Ju 88 in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32 and other scales.

Gunze Sangyo C114 RLM23 Red paint is characterized by fast drying, intense coverage, and high abrasion resistance after drying. It performs excellently when applied both by brush and airbrush—especially after dilution with the dedicated Gunze thinner. This feature is particularly appreciated by modelers seeking professional finishes on historical aircraft models, vehicles, or dioramas from the World War II era.

We recommend this product to both advanced modelers and intermediate hobbyists. The difficulty level of using this paint is rated at 2/5: the cellulose lacquer requires proper ventilation and the appropriate thinner, but it allows you to achieve results unattainable with regular acrylic paints.

Gunze Sangyo C114 RLM23 Red is an excellent choice for anyone who values top quality, historical accuracy, and the durability of the paint finish on models of any scale.
