Red RLM23 17ml

Vallejo Model Air Red RLM 23, 17 ml

The shade RLM 23 Rot is the red of the Luftwaffe color standard of the Second World War - the manufacturer lists it under precisely that designation. Vallejo offers it in the Model Air acrylic range: a water-thinnable flat acrylic mixed directly for the airbrush, with a thinner consistency, which in most cases sprays straight from the dropper bottle with no further thinning. The package contains one 17 ml bottle. It is a modeling paint, not a kit. It thins with water or the airbrush thinner of the same manufacturer, never with alcohol or lacquer thinner.

Use

• Tactical and identification features of Luftwaffe machines - numbers, letters and symbols on the fuselage.
• National insignia and distinguishing features, colored bands and unit markings.
• The lower surfaces and parts of the airframe on machines with special distinguishing markings.
• Details of cockpits and equipment - levers, controls, warning features, fire extinguishers.
• Red features of airfield ground equipment and accessories for dioramas.

Coverage and application technique

Red pigment belongs, along with the yellows, to those that cover less well than other colors - on a dark or patchy undercoat it goes darker and looks dirty. The best result comes from a white or light gray base under the area of the future red and then several thin, well dried coats. Small features such as numbers or symbols are best masked only after they have dried completely and sprayed at a lower pressure, so that the paint does not creep under the mask. Always shake the bottle thoroughly, as the pigment settles at the bottom.

Who the paint is for

For builders of German aircraft of the Second World War who need a red that matches the era for tactical markings and national insignia. But it will also serve as a saturated, slightly muted red anywhere else on a model - from ground vehicles to interior details.

Ensure sufficient ventilation and protect your airways when spraying. Keep out of the reach of children.
