AK Interactive - US Asia Minor Scheme (IIAF/IRIAF Aircraft) Set 3G (AK11751)

Iran's Asia Minor scheme — a sandy, mud-and-green splinter — is one of the more distinctive camouflage jobs to come out of the Cold War, and it's the look worn by everything from F-86Fs through to the legendary F-14A Tomcat. This four-colour 3G set covers it in full.

What's in the box

• Sand, mud and green tones of the Asia Minor scheme
• Four 17ml dropper bottles, self-levelling matt acrylic
• Brush or airbrush ready

Best for

• F-14A Tomcats in Iranian Imperial/Islamic Air Force service
• F-4D/E Phantom II and F-5A/B builds
• Jordanian and later Greek F-5A/Bs in the same scheme

It's a scheme that gets attention on the shelf precisely because so few modellers tackle it — this set removes the guesswork of hunting down the right sand and mud tones yourself. A Tomcat in Asia Minor camouflage stands out on any shelf full of the usual grey Cold War jets, which is exactly the point of building one.

A striking Middle Eastern scheme, made straightforward. More period sets live in the AK 3rd Gen acrylic range.
