Model Information:
The Supermarine Spitfire and the BAe Hawk, representing two iconic British aircraft designs of the 20th century, may have been developed during different eras of aviation technology, but both are instantly recognizable to millions of people. As Britain’s most famous fighter aircraft, the Spitfire is still regarded as the savior of the nation during the dark days of the Battle of Britain, and its distinctive elliptical wing is still considered a design classic.

The Hawk family of aircraft is designed and manufactured by BAE Systems. BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trademark of BAE Systems plc. The RAF Red Arrows name and logo are trademarks of the UK Minister of Defense and are used under license.

Humbrol Acrylic Paint for Modelers
Instructions for Use: Water-mixable acrylic paint. Stir the paint well before use. Apply with a brush directly from the can. When using an airbrush, thin with a suitable thinner, such as water. Two thin coats are better than one thick coat. The usual mixing ratio is 2:1 in favor of the paint. Non-flammable base, dries quickly; 1–2 hours to dry completely, slightly longer for gloss and metallic finishes. Dilute with water if necessary. Using an unsuitable thinner may ruin the paint! Rinse brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Close the container tightly after use. Use as soon as possible after opening; the paint dries when exposed to air. Protect from freezing. Contains preservatives: 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one, 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (3:1), and 2-phenoxyethanol.
Warning: Keep out of reach of children. Caution! Not suitable for children under 8 years of age. Children may use this product only under adult supervision.
