AK Interactive RC973 RAF Barley Grey BS381C/626 17 ml – premium lacquer paint for aircraft and military vehicle models

AK Interactive RC973 RAF Barley Grey BS381C/626 is a professional lacquer-based model paint distinguished by an exceptional chemical formula, designed specifically to meet the highest standards for detail fidelity and accurate historical shades. The Barley Grey BS381C/626 shade was primarily used in camouflage schemes of Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft from the 1980s to modern times. This color is essential for modelers recreating iconic British machines such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, Tornado GR.4, Harrier GR.5/7, or Jaguar, used among others during the Cold War and operations in the Middle East.

AK Interactive RC973 paint, thanks to its lacquer base, offers excellent adhesion and quick, even drying. It provides a uniform, satin finish that perfectly prepares the model for subsequent stages such as washes, pigments, or oil weathering effects. The paint maintains great flexibility, minimizing the risk of chipping even when masking with tape.
