Application and Key Features

Gunze Sangyo C097 Light Gray is perfect for painting model aircraft, military vehicles, figures, or dioramas. Thanks to its original, quick-drying cellulose formula, it provides a smooth, even coating with high durability and abrasion resistance. The light gray color is frequently used as a base for camouflage painting or as a universal color for many historical periods, including World War II and the Cold War, where it served as the base color for numerous military machines (e.g., US Navy, Luftwaffe, RAF aircraft).

The paint features excellent coverage, high pigmentation, and resistance to thinning, allowing application in thin layers without losing color effect. The 10 ml jar ensures economical use even for frequent detail painting.
