Hataka HTK-CS92 South African Army paint set (8x17ml) is a professional set of acrylic lacquers developed specifically to accurately replicate historical and modern camouflage schemes of military vehicles used by the South African army after World War II. The set contains eight high-quality lacquers, each with a capacity of 17 ml, designed for airbrush application.

This model paint set is dedicated to both armored vehicles and helicopters from the 1950s to the present day. The paints have been meticulously selected to cover the key periods of standard color changes in the South African military:

• BS Olive Green – Used by the Union Defence Force until 1961, for example on 'Saracen' and 'Ferret' vehicles.
• BS Olive Drab – The standard color for SADF armored vehicles from 1961 to 1975 (e.g. Ratel IFV).
• BS Light Stone – Characteristic for units stationed in Namibia and contingents assigned to missions in the MEDO region.
• BS Dark Earth – The dominant color from 1975 to 1994, used on vehicles such as the Olifant MBT.
• Military Dark Earth, MRG Stone, Buffalo Green – Modern camouflage colors used since 1994 (Rooikat, Olifant, Rooivalk).
• BS Middle Brown – Represents the paint scheme of South African helicopters (Rooivalk, Agusta A109).

The paints are solvent-based lacquers designed for airbrush use – allowing for a realistic, silky, and even finish without streaks, and providing high coating durability. The set is perfect for both advanced modelers and ambitious hobbyists wishing to recreate South African armored and air forces in 1/35, 1/72, or 1/48 scale.

Category: model lacquer set for airbrush. The difficulty level of using the set is rated at 2/5 – the paints are easy to use for those familiar with basic airbrushing techniques.

We particularly recommend this set to military modelers interested in the Cold War era, South African interventions in Africa (Angola, Namibia), and the reconstruction of modern South African army vehicle and helicopter models. The original Hataka Hobby product guarantees the highest quality and perfect color matching to authentic South African military standards.
