• Full historical accuracy: The paints are developed based on original RAF specifications and documents, taking into account changes in camouflage schemes from 1940, when intelligence commands could use special camouflages adapted to operational conditions, such as P.R. Blue, P.R. Pink, Royal Blue, Camotint Green, or Interior Grey-Green.

  • Medium Sea Grey – used on upper surfaces of high-altitude day fighters from May 1943,
  • Interior Grey-Green – standard cockpit interior colour of RAF,
  • Camotint Green – original colour of early reconnaissance Spitfires converted from Mk I,
