Mission Model US Aircraft Modern & WWII FAQ

What is this collection used for?

This collection provides colors ideal for painting U.S. military aircraft from World War II and modern eras, including camouflage, undersides, and detail tones.

Do I need to prime before painting?

Yes. Priming improves adhesion and helps your paint lay down evenly. Start with Mission Model Paint Primers.

How do I achieve accurate markings and insignia backgrounds?

Use precise masking and thin layers of base tones. Support your palette with Mission Model Basic Colors for whites, grays, and blacks needed in insignia backgrounds.

Should I clear coat before decals?

A gloss clear coat can help decals adhere smoothly. Use a product from the Mission Model Paint Clear Coats collection before decal application, then finish with your desired sheen after weathering.

How do I add realistic wear and shading?

Use thin shading layers and streaking effects with Mission Model Weathering Colors for panel shading, exhaust stains, and subtle wear.
