The product comes in a convenient 10 ml jar, which provides excellent efficiency even when painting larger models or a series of models in the same color shade.

The RAF Camouflage Beige (Hemp) color, designated BS 381C/389, was particularly widely used in British military aviation in the final decades of the 20th century, mainly during the Cold War period and the early 1990s, including during the RAF's participation in Operation Desert Storm. The Hemp color was used to paint reconnaissance, transport and bomber aircraft such as the Panavia Tornado, Nimrod or engineering versions of the Hercules, emphasizing their camouflaging properties in the desert and grassland operational theaters.
