AKRC897 Desert Sand FS 30279, 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 smooth finish. Holds all types of weather products. Can be thinned with RC701 / RC702 High Compatibility Thinner or other thinners intended for lacquer based paints. A good match for the Sand 49 color used to paint the upper surfaces of USAAF aircraft operating in MTO in 1942-1943. A good match for one of the colors available for painting disruptive camouflage on US Army vehicles during World War II. One of the colors possibly used in the ad-hoc desert schemes was used on some USMC helicopters during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. A fair match to the Desert Pink colour used to apply temporary desert camouflage to RAF aircraft participating in Operation Granby during the 1990-1991 Gulf War, including the Tornado GR.1/GR.1A, Jaguar GR.1 and Buccaneer S.2B. A very good match to the BS381C/630 Camouflage Desert Sand colour used to paint some British Army vehicles during the 2003 Iraq War. Also used in some desert schemes by US Navy (F-5E, F/A-18A & B, F-16A) and USAF (F-15C, F-16C) aggressor squadrons.
