Vallejo Model Air — UK Mediterranean Blue

Subject: Aircraft

RAF Mediterranean Blue (approx. FS 35164 / FS 35231 range) — mid-tone blue used in maritime and desert air operations, approx. 1941–1944. Applied to: Bristol Beaufighter (coastal/desert variants), Martin Baltimore, Douglas Boston (Mediterranean RAF), Vickers Wellington (Mediterranean variants), some Spitfire Mk.V tropical units (localized adaptations), and reconnaissance aircraft operating over sea/desert contrast environments. Used in Mediterranean Theater (Malta operations 1941–43), North Africa (1942–43), and anti-shipping strikes.

Application: Water-based acrylic. Thin with water for brush painting, or Vallejo Acrylic Thinner for airbrushing. Add a few drops of Vallejo Flow Improver to cut surface tension, improve levelling, slow tip dry, and allow water-based acrylics to spray like a lacquer or solvent-based paint. Aim for a milk-like consistency.
