From August or September 1941 it replaced Dark Earth on the upper surfaces of fighters, paired with Dark Green over Medium Sea Grey undersides, and it remained the standard fighter finish to the end of the war. Koloi Aqua is our water-based matte acrylic, formulated for the airbrush. The colour for Spitfire Mk V and IX, Typhoon, Tempest, Mustang and other RAF fighters from late 1941 to 1945. Combine it with RAF Dark Green BS 241 and RAF Sky Type S BS 210 from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem with matte finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA matte finish hides nothing: fingerprints, uneven coats and gloss patches all show.
