This set includes 8 different models from the Model Air series in 17 ml format. It is suitable for painting combat vehicles, trucks or artillery units, as well as camouflage schemes used by the Regio Esercito during the Second World War.

The Italian army did not have precise color response schemes; We know some of the shades and their names from written archives, from some identified references and from isolated records in military museums, from rather meticulous restorations. Since the 1930s, we find disruptive camouflage schemes in many Ansaldo designs in which reddish sand or terra cotta flecks are applied over a dark green tone as the base or, since the 1940s, a light green tone used as the base. The combinations evolved into very elaborate patterns of up to four different hues, or "amoeba" type schemes, or disruptive patterns with curved shapes like tiles.

To identify the nuances of the most familiar tones, we took as reference some well-preserved color photographs of vehicles exhibited in the Saumur Museum and their restorations by experts.
