Vallejo ARMEE DE L'AIR COLORS 1939-1942 BATTLE OF FRANCE VICHY AF Paint Set
Because French WWII camouflage was complicated, subtle, and absolutely not “just green and brown.” This Armée de l’Air 1939–1942 paint set is built for historical accuracy during one of the most politically and visually complex periods of the Second World War.
Product Info:
This set from Vallejo contains eight Model Air acrylic colors developed specifically for French Air Force aircraft from the outbreak of WWII in 1939, through the Battle of France in June 1940, and into the Vichy Air Force period up to November 1942.
Each color is selected to accurately reproduce period camouflage schemes, and the set includes aircraft profiles with clear guidance and detailed descriptions of how the colors were applied historically. The paints are pre-thinned for airbrush use, featuring ultra-finely milled pigments and Vallejo’s high-resistance acrylic resin for smooth spraying and excellent durability.
