Their quick-drying formula ensures high working comfort and a very aesthetic final effect, naturally reproducing the appearance of aircraft such as the Morane-Saulnier MS.406, Bloch MB.152, or Dewoitine D.520, used by the French Air Force during the dramatic battles of 1940.

The set is especially recommended for aircraft modellers of all skill levels—including beginners, thanks to its easy application (difficulty 1/5). The product will be appreciated by enthusiasts who value accurately reproduced historical details and colors, as well as by collectors of World War II aircraft models.
