Humbrol DB0048 N°48 Mediterranean Blue Gloss – 14ml

Humbrol DB0048 N°48 Mediterranean Blue Gloss – 14ml is a high-quality acrylic model paint, contained in a modern dropper bottle that allows for precise dosing and easier color mixing using the dedicated Humbrol palette (AG5111). The Mediterranean Blue shade is an intense, glossy blue widely used in historical modeling – it perfectly replicates the colors of RAF and Royal Navy British aircraft, especially during World War II and the post-war period.

It is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value historical color accuracy and high-quality finishes. Also excellent for figures and diorama details.

I rate the difficulty level of working with this paint at 1/5 – the product is easy to use, spreads well, and dries quickly, and the dropper application minimizes unnecessary waste and mess. An ideal choice both for beginners and experienced modelers who value precision and lasting results.
