AKRC893 Earth Red FS 30117, 17 ml

High quality lacquer based paint with a chemical formula superior to other brands on the market. Flows smoothly in an airbrush; adheres to the surface and dries perfectly with a soft finish. Holds all types of weather products. Can be thinned with RC701 / RC702 High Compatibility Thinner or other thinners intended for lacquer based paints. Used to paint the lower surfaces of US Navy carrier-based aircraft from 1955 to the early 1980s. One of the colors used to paint US Army vehicles in the Red Desert variant of the MERDC scheme. One of the colors that may have been used in the ad-hoc desert schemes, was used on some USMC helicopters during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. Also used in some desert schemes of US Navy aggressor squadrons (F-5E, F/A-18A & B). A reasonable match for one of the colors available for painting disruptive camouflage on US Army vehicles during World War II.
