Paint Set 7020: Armée de l’Air – Battle of France 1940
https://arcus-hobby.store/products/7020-armee-de-lair-battle-of-france-1940
France was among the principal innovators of early aeronautical engineering. From the first generation of aeroplanes through the developmental surge of the 1930s, French designers continually explored advanced aerodynamic configurations and structural concepts, producing aircraft that were technically progressive on the eve of the Second World War.
The Battle of France
The May–June 1940 campaign represents one of the most consequential periods in European air warfare. From the outset of the German offensive through the Ardennes, units of the Armée de l’Air and attached RAF components attempted to counter the developing Schwerpunkt. Despite a numerical concentration of Allied fighters, neither service was able to impede the well-coordinated Luftwaffe operations or delay the rapid momentum of German armoured formations.
Frontline escadrilles operating the Dewoitine D.520, MS.406, and Bloch MB.152 were committed in a dispersed manner, tasked primarily with covering retreating ground forces and critical crossings. Sustained airfield bombardment, attrition of matériel reserves, and limited operational integration with ground commands rapidly degraded the combat capacity of the French air arm. By mid-June the front had collapsed, and on 22 June the armistice was signed—concluding one of the briefest yet most operationally intense campaigns of the Second World War.
The 1938 Camouflage Specification
In the years following the First World War, France undertook systematic evaluation of camouflage intended to reduce visual detection both in flight and on the ground. Throughout the 1920s and early 1930s aircraft of the Armée de l’Air commonly carried aluminium-doped finishes, khaki on single-seat fighters, or dark brown on heavier types.
Operational lessons from the Spanish Civil War confirmed the value of disruptive multi-tone patterns, prompting accelerated development of standardized camouflage. In 1938 a regulated scheme was introduced, prescribing green, brown, and dark grey upper-surface colours over a light grey-blue underside. Although the directive established official tones, measurable variation existed between manufacturers and in field-applied repaints, reflecting differences in available pigments and production batches. At the same time the national insignia were updated; the blue of the roundels was revised to a more vivid shade.

Purpose of the “Battle of France 1940” Paint Set
This set provides the principal colours employed on French military aircraft of the late 1930s and the 1940 campaign, corresponding to the standardized camouflage regulation introduced in 1938.

PSU Ukrainian Flankers

In 2012, a significant milestone in the history of the Ukrainian Air Force unfolded as the Sukhoi Su-27 underwent a notable upgrade, marked by the introduction of the distinctive Blue Pixel camouflage at the Zaporizhia State Aircraft Repair Plant MiGremont. This visual innovation, beyond its aesthetic appeal, symbolized Ukraine's commitment to embracing advanced aerospace technology.

Simultaneously, the Su-27 underwent a partial modernization, transitioning into the Su-27S1M/P1M and UB1M/UP1M standards. This comprehensive modernization program encompassed key elements such as avionics, radar systems, and engine performance. The objective was to ensure that the Su-27 remained a formidable force in contemporary air warfare, equipped with cutting-edge technology to meet the challenges of the evolving geopolitical landscape.

During the challenging times of the war in Ukraine, the Su-27 played a crucial role. Adorned with the distinctive Blue Pixel camouflage, these fighter jets found themselves on the frontline, confronting Russian adversaries in the air. The Su-27, among the first to engage in aerial combat, showcased its prowess and adaptability, contributing significantly to Ukraine's defense efforts.
The conflict highlighted the importance of a modern and capable air force, and the upgraded Su-27s proved instrumental in countering airborne threats. The Blue Pixel camouflage not only demonstrated Ukraine's technological sophistication but also served as a symbol of national resilience and determination.
The Su-27's participation in the conflict became a testament to the Ukrainian Air Force's commitment to defending its sovereignty in the face of external threats. The partial modernization, coupled with the distinctive Blue Pixel camouflage, allowed these aircraft to continue serving as a formidable deterrent, showcasing Ukraine's dedication to maintaining a strong and effective air defense capability.
