The Vallejo 71147 Model Air FAA Colors 1939-1945 paint set is a special set of eight high-quality acrylic model paints, designed for accurately reproducing British Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm aircraft from the period of World War II (1939-1945). This product is aimed at modelers building historical aircraft models in scales such as 1/48, 1/72, and 1/32, especially those interested in recreating authentic paint schemes of Royal Navy aircraft operating from carriers and land bases, including both British and American planes serving under the British flag.

The set contains eight Model Air acrylic paints, designed for airbrush application, featuring very fine pigmentation, excellent coverage, easy application, and quick drying. The colors have been developed based on archival documents and color profiles by Mark Rolfe in cooperation with aviation historians. This allows for precise recreation of historical camouflage patterns for aircraft such as the Fairey Swordfish, Supermarine Seafire, Grumman Martlet, and Avenger.
