The professional acrylic paint set Vallejo 71626 Armée De L'air Colors 1939-1942 Battle of France & Vichy AF 8x17ml is a collection of eight carefully selected colors dedicated to replicating the shades of the French military aviation from 1939 to 1942. This set is based on historical sources and is intended primarily for French aircraft models from World War II – both during the Battle of France and the Vichy period.

• Scale: Universal colors, suitable for models in any scale, from 1/72, through 1/48 and 1/32, up to 1/24.
• Country of use: France (Armée de l'Air and Vichy Air Force).
• Historical description: Starting with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the French Air Force used distinctive aircraft painting schemes to enhance camouflage and distinguish their planes from enemy aircraft. After the fall of France in 1940, new colors were introduced in the Vichy Air Force. The Vallejo set allows you to recreate classical camouflage of various aircraft types, such as the Morane-Saulnier MS.406, Dewoitine D.520, or Bloch MB.152, used in battles over France and in the French colonies.
• Period of use: 1939–1942, World War II.

• Opinion: I highly recommend this product to both advanced modelers and intermediate aviation enthusiasts. The accuracy of the shades and the ease of application ensure a highly realistic final effect on models.
• Difficulty of use (1-5): 1 (very easy) – the paints are ready to use and do not require specialized skills.
