Gunze Sangyo C044 Tan is a high-quality cellulose-based model paint, offered in a 10 ml package. The product comes from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Gunze Sangyo (now better known as Mr. Hobby), who has been recognized for years as a leader among suppliers of specialist model paints and chemicals. The C044 Tan shade belongs to the popular Mr. Color series, widely used by modelers around the world, especially for reproducing realistic camouflage and details in military and aviation models.

Gunze Sangyo C044 Tan stands out for its excellent coverage, fast drying time, and high resistance to abrasion and dulling. The cellulose base provides ideal adhesion to the surfaces of plastic models, whether in 1/24, 1/35, or 1/72 scale, and allows easy application with both brush and airbrush techniques. The Tan (sand) color finds broad use in historical modeling, mainly for painting German armored vehicles from World War II (e.g., Afrika Korps desert camouflage), Allied armored fighting vehicles operating on North African fronts, as well as modern military vehicles of the US Army using desert camouflage patterns.
