PACTRA A84 RLM 63 Lichtgrau (SG) is a high-quality acrylic paint created for modelers who wish to recreate historic German aircraft with the highest precision and attention to detail. The RLM 63 Lichtgrau (light grey) color was an authentic shade used by the Luftwaffe – the German Air Force – in the pre-World War II period and during its early stages, mainly between 1938 and 1940. For example, RLM 63 was used on aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 B, D or Heinkel He 111 during the Polish campaign and the Battle of France.

The acrylic formula ensures ease of use – the paint works perfectly both with brush painting and airbrushing (recommended to dilute with appropriate thinner). Fast-drying and scratch-resistant, it allows for effective application of precise layers and replication of historical camouflage. It provides a matte finish, ideal for weathering effects and varnishing with filters and washes. PACTRA A84 covers plastic, resin as well as metal parts very well, making it suitable for use on cockpit details, aircraft surfaces or diorama accessories.

This is a product from the category of acrylic model paints. It is an excellent choice both for beginner modelers (difficulty level 1/5) and for advanced hobbyists who value authenticity and quality. The paint is especially recommended for German aircraft, also in combination with other RLM shades for faithful recreation of historical paint schemes. Thanks to very good pigmentation and a uniform consistency, any model will gain a realistic period look.
