Blood Red Skies: Vallejo Paints Sets RAF
These Vallejo paint sets for British WW2 aircraft give you an extremely accurate palette for your Blood Red Skies squadrons.
Vallejo Model Air is pre-thinned for application by airbrush, although depending on your setup you may find you need to add a little thinner or flow improver. With pigments that are ground more finely than most paints, they are also the perfect blend for modellers who prefer to brush paint.
