Hataka HTK-A277 BS Roundel Blue (BS381C:110) is a high-quality water-based acrylic paint, specially designed for modelers seeking realistic reproduction of historic color schemes. The product belongs to the renowned Red Line series from Hataka Hobby, which guarantees excellent coverage, an exceptionally smooth and satin finish, and ease of application both for beginners and advanced modelers alike.

The Roundel Blue (BS381C:110) color is a precisely matched shade characteristic of the Royal Air Force insignia and those of allied air fleets during World War II and the post-war period. It was primarily used as the color of the main roundel (national insignia) on aircraft and other military vehicles of the United Kingdom. BS381C:110 paint became the standard in RAF camouflage schemes from around the 1940s, maintaining its place on British military vehicles in the following decades and up to the era of modern air force upgrades.

Hataka HTK-A277 was developed specifically for airbrush use, allowing for a uniform and thin color layer without the risk of flooding fine details. Thanks to its low-viscosity acrylic base, it dries quickly and minimizes time between subsequent painting and masking steps. The color remains highly resistant to abrasion and adheres well to plastic, resin, or metal scale models of any scale—from 1/72, through 1/48, up to large 1/32 models.

The product does not contain harmful solvents, which improves comfort when working at home and has a positive effect on user health. The high pigment quality ensures the paint performs perfectly when painting historic RAF aircraft from World War II—such as Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, Mosquito—as well as modern jets, where authentic colors are essential.

I assess the product's application difficulty at 1/5—even modelers with minimal airbrush experience will achieve satisfying results on the first attempt. Hataka HTK-A277 BS Roundel Blue (BS381C:110) is a worthy choice for anyone seeking faithful reproduction of historic colors for aviation models or British Army dioramas. It is great for both beginner and advanced aviation, armor, and diorama modelers who care about detail.
