Historical Information and Color Application:

The PRU Blue shade was developed by the British Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. It was used from 1941 onwards, mainly on reconnaissance aircraft of the Photo Reconnaissance Unit (PRU), such as the Supermarine Spitfire PR Mk.XI, De Havilland Mosquito PR Mk.IV, and Bristol Beaufighter PR. This made the aircraft less visible from high altitudes, increasing their chances of returning from photographic missions over occupied Europe.

Uses of the Paint:

• Painting aircraft models in 1/72, 1/48, and larger scales
• Reconstruction of historical RAF aircraft replicas
• Finishing small details on other military models
• Ideal for plastic model kits

Humbrol 230 enamel guarantees high resistance to abrasion and light, and its matt finish provides realistically looking surfaces, eliminating unwanted reflections and enhancing the scale effect.

Recommended for Modelers:

The paint's difficulty level is rated as 2/5 – application is easy, but requires precision to achieve a perfectly matt, uniform coating.
