Standard camouflage colours of US aircraft since late 1970s
In late 1970s US air forces started to introduce new standard of aircraft camouflage (often referred to as "Tactical Paint Scheme") formed from different shades of grey. In USAF it appeared first on F-15s and F-16s (and F-4s as Hill One camo), and on A-10s but only after Operation Desert Storm.
Harriers of USMC adopted TPS (first in three, later in two-colour version) also only after ODS proved previous camo not effective in desert conditions.Rest of naval aircraft (USN and USMC) wore TPS from 1980 (A-4s and F/A-18s) and 1981 (remaining types).
Introduction of F-35s (and new Have Glass 5 coat on F-16s) brought new colour FS36170 into line.
The range of specially formulated lacquer based paints optimised for airbrushing. The product was developed to satisfy needs of all modellers – it is perfect for professional use (application of many semi-transparent layers, gradual building of colours / colour shading, application of very fine lines, etc.), but also very forgiving to beginners.
It has significantly limited odour compared to other similar products, hence is more suitable for home use.
All colours are highly pigmented and permanent.
