Vallejo 71296 USAAF Light Gray – Acrylic Paint Model Air 17ml

Vallejo 71296 USAAF Light Gray is a professional acrylic paint designed primarily for painting military and aviation models in scales such as 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, or 1/144. The USAAF Light Gray shade was widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II, particularly as the underside color of fighter, bomber, and transport aircraft fuselages. Perfect for replicating authentic colors used in operations such as the Battle of Midway, the Normandy landings, or convoy protection missions in the Pacific.

The paint is formulated with high-quality acrylic resins and offered in the Model Air system, which allows for direct application with an airbrush (and also with a brush after light thinning). Thanks to specially selected pigments, Vallejo 71296 guarantees high abrasion resistance and excellent coverage even after just one or two layers. The color matches the historically used original shades, preserving the authenticity of your model.
