Hataka HTK-C026 Sky „Type S” 17ml – Model Paints from the Orange Line Series

Hataka HTK-C026 Sky "Type S" 17ml is a high-quality solvent-based model paint, dedicated to demanding modelers who care about faithfully recreating historical paint schemes of World War II aircraft models. This lacquer belongs to the renowned Orange Line series, designed especially for application with airbrushes and brushes. Hataka Hobby, a Polish producer of model paints, is known for its attention to reproducing the authentic colors used by the world's largest armies.

The HTK-C026 Sky "Type S" shade replicates the historical color used on the undersides of British RAF aircraft from 1940–1944, such as the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire, and Bristol Beaufighter. Sky "Type S" paint was the standard during the Battle of Britain and subsequent air operations in World War II, especially in the "Day Fighter Scheme" and "Torpedo Bomber Scheme" liveries. For this reason, this shade is essential for modelers building 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32 scale models of Royal Air Force, Fleet Air Arm, or Coastal Command fighters and bombers.

• Capacity: 17 ml, sufficient for several medium-sized model kits
• Category: model paint – solvent-based lacquer for airbrush and brush application
• Formula: less intense odor than standard lacquers; much less aggressive to plastic
• Ideal for plastic models as well as resin or metal cast models
• Intended use: precise detail painting, allows achieving a realistic effect without damaging the surface

Hataka HTK-C026 Sky "Type S" 17ml is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect excellent coverage, historical color accuracy, and easy application from their paint. An advantage of this series is increased control during painting—the paint is less aggressive to delicate plastic parts than competing products. Despite its high quality, the difficulty level is rated 2 on a scale of 1–5, so even less experienced modelers can confidently use it.

If you build British aircraft models from the World War II era, Hataka HTK-C026 Sky "Type S" 17ml is a choice that will bring you closer to authenticity and a professional model finish.
