BS Dark Slate Grey is one of the most important shades used in aircraft modelling, particularly for replicating RAF camouflage from World War II. The British air force used this shade (British Standard 381C:634) on the upper surfaces of fighter and bomber aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, and De Havilland Mosquito. It was the standard color used in the famous “Temperate Land Scheme” camouflage pattern, applied from 1938 through the postwar years.

Dark Slate Grey was one of the key shades used by:

• United Kingdom (RAF – Royal Air Force)
• RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) and other Commonwealth air forces

This scheme was primarily used during World War II and in the early postwar years. This color is essential for modelers building RAF fighter replicas in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, or 1/24 scale.

Hataka HTK-C202 paint is characterized by very high pigment quality, good adhesion, and uniform coverage. The special “Orange Line” formula guarantees a milder odor and less aggressiveness towards plastic model parts, minimizing the risk of damaging delicate details. The paint is especially intended for airbrush application, but can also be used for hand painting small details.

Skill level for use: 2/5 – recommended for beginner and intermediate modelers, thanks to its easy application and forgiveness of minor technical mistakes.

We highly recommend Hataka HTK-C202 BS Dark Slate Grey to every aviation modeling enthusiast striving for the most faithful recreation of historical RAF colors. This product will be perfect for both shade accuracy and the professional quality of your plastic model’s finish!
