Mr Hobby Aqueous Hobby Colour H-54 Navy Blue Semi Gloss Acrylic Paint 10ml

Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color: H-54 Navy Blue (Semi-Gloss) Bring historical accuracy and a professional finish to your naval aviation builds with Mr. Hobby Aqueous H-54 Navy Blue. This specialized semi-gloss acrylic is an essential shade for scale modelers, specifically formulated to replicate the deep, rich blues featured on legendary U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft.

Key Features

• Authentic Naval Tone: H-54 is meticulously color-matched to replicate iconic U.S. Navy Dark Sea Blue/Navy Blue camouflage schemes, making it essential for WWII and Korean War naval legends like the Corsair, Hellcat, Avenger, and Panther.

• Smooth Semi-Gloss Finish: Delivers an authentic, period-accurate luster that mirrors operational naval aircraft while providing a smooth surface for decal application, effectively eliminating "silvering" without extra prep coats.

• Safe & Low Odor Formula: As a water-based acrylic resin paint, H-54 is significantly safer for home and workshop use than traditional lacquers. It features a mild scent and cleans up easily.

• Exceptional Self-Leveling: Formulated to flow effortlessly over complex panel lines and fine surface detail, leveling itself as it cures to leave a rich, streak-free finish whether brushed or airbrushed.

Application Guide

• Hand Brushing: Apply in thin, consistent layers. If the paint thickens out of the jar, thin slightly with Mr. Hobby Aqueous Thinner to maintain a smooth, level finish.

• Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). For optimum atomization and surface flow, use Mr. Hobby Aqueous Thinner or Levelling Thinner.

Pro-Tips for Navy Blue

• The Perfect Foundation: Apply H-54 over a dark grey or black primer. A dark base enhances the rich depth of the blue and creates subtle scale shadowing in panel lines.

• Weathering Ready: The smooth semi-gloss surface provides an ideal base for pin washes, exhaust staining, and light chipping effects. Excess washes wipe off effortlessly without staining the base coat.

• Quick Drying, Steady Curing: Touch-dry in minutes, but allow 24 hours for a full cure before applying delicate masking tape for secondary schemes or edge details.
