Description
Air Light Sea Blue is a low-saturation, slightly dusty blue specifically designed to replicate ANA 608, the upper fuselage color in the iconic U.S. Navy tri-color camouflage scheme from 1943–44. This airbrush-optimized formula ensures smooth application, soft edge transitions, and authentic wartime finish on scale aircraft. Also applicable to warships and Pacific theater modeling.

Historical Background
ANA 608 Light Sea Blue was introduced during World War II as part of the U.S. Navy's effort to improve camouflage effectiveness on aircraft.
• It formed the mid-tone layer in the tri-color scheme (paired with Non-Specular Sea Blue and Insignia White).
• Used extensively on aircraft such as the F6F Hellcat, TBF Avenger, and F4U Corsair.
• Closely aligned with Federal Standard FS 35189, helping modern modelers match historical palettes accurately.

Modeling Use Cases
• WWII Aircraft: Corsairs, Wildcats, Hellcats, Avengers
• Naval Dioramas: Shipboard aircraft and deck surfaces
• Terrain & Machinery: Subtle blue-gray steel elements or faded industrial gear
• Weathering Base Layer: Undercoats for faded or oxidized blue-gray surfaces

Tips for Best Results
• Use over a light gray primer to preserve tone fidelity
• Thin sparingly if needed; already optimized for airbrush use
• Highlight with lighter gray-blue or desaturate with haze-gray drybrush for weathered effects
• Pairs well with Non-Specular Sea Blue, Insignia White, and Deck Blue
