Application and Historical Authenticity

Vallejo 71273 Ocean Gray is a shade that was widely used during World War II by the Royal Air Force – the British air forces. The Ocean Grey (RAF) color was used, among others, for the camouflage of fighters such as the Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawker Typhoon from 1941 onwards during operations over northwestern Europe. This color faithfully recreates the historical reality of vehicles, aircraft, and military equipment from World War II, ensuring an accurate reproduction of models in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, and other popular aircraft and military scales.
