AK Interactive RCS117 US Navy & USMC Aircraft Colors 1945-1980 3x17ml is a professional set of high-quality lacquer model paints, designed especially for enthusiasts of United States military aviation. This set is dedicated to recreating the authentic colors of American Navy and Marine Corps (US Navy & USMC) aircraft used from 1945-1980, spanning from the end of World War II, through the Cold War era, up to the entry into service of machines such as the F-14 Tomcat and the F-4 Phantom II.

The set includes three essential colors:

• RC925 Dark Sea Blue – the classic base color used until the mid-1950s, especially on such aircraft as the Grumman F6F Hellcat, Vought F4U Corsair, and Douglas A-1 Skyraider
• RC889 Light Gull Grey FS 16440 – from the mid-1950s to the late 1970s, used in the typical grey-white camouflage of modern carrier-based jets, including the F-8 Crusader and A-4 Skyhawk
• RC891 Insignia White FS 17875 – a color used for undersurfaces in a two-tone scheme, protecting the aircraft from sun effects and aiding identification

Thanks to high pigmentation and excellent coverage, the Real Colors series paints are perfect for painting plastic models in 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32 scales, faithfully reproducing the colors of the original aircraft. These paints are lacquers and are best thinned with the dedicated RC701/RC702 High Compatibility Thinner, which ensures retention of qualities and ease of application by both airbrush and brush. The product is compatible with other lacquer thinners.

The AK Interactive RCS117 set should be part of every modeler's arsenal who focuses on post-war and Cold War era US Navy aviation. Ideal for both beginners and advanced hobbyists (difficulty of use – 2/5), it will be appreciated by all who strive for a realistic appearance for their models.
