U.S. Modern Aircraft 1 is a set of eight acrylic paints, essential for painting the authentic colors of the US Navy and USMC from the early 1970s, onwards. These colors can be used to paint models of aircraft such as A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, AH-1 Sea Cobra and Viper, EA-6B Prowler, F-4 Phantom II, F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18 Hornet, SH-60 Seahawk, V-22 Osprey and many more. A profile guide is printed on the backside of the box. AKI paints are not only historically accurate and specially formulated with top quality components; they also have been designed taking into account the scale reduction effect*. AKI acrylic paints are ready to use straight from the bottle; simply shake, and the paint is ready to go. Dilution is not necessary when airbrushing AKI acrylic paints; however, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of AKI specially formulated thinner AKI712. Useful for all acrylic paints, the AKI712 improves the performance of the paint and is vastly superior to most other available thinners, resulting in a greater degree of coverage when applied by brush.

*A model aircraft reflects less light than an actual full size aircraft; this means the color applied to the model must be of a lighter shade to look the same as the full sized version. If the same color tones were applied to each, the model would appear darker as it reflects less light.
