Hataka HTK-A310 Dunkelgelb nach Muster 17ml is a high-quality acrylic modeling paint designed for precise painting of historical models, particularly armored vehicles from World War II. The product comes from the renowned Polish manufacturer Hataka Hobby, highly regarded in the modeling community for its innovative approach to color chemistry and the top quality of its paints. The Red Line series is a line of water-based acrylic paints dedicated mainly to airbrush application, though they can also be applied by brush with the correct technique.

Dunkelgelb nach Muster (meaning "dark yellow according to the pattern") is the authentic shade used by the German army (Wehrmacht) from February 1943, becoming the basic camouflage color for all new vehicles, tanks, and other armored units until the end of World War II. Modelers value this shade for its faithful reproduction of the historic color, which was widely used on the fronts of Europe, Africa, and the Eastern Front. The paint was compliant with the 1943 regulations, which introduced a shift from the previous gray scheme to a more universal one, suitable for various terrain conditions.
