Perfect Application – Historical Reconstruction and Beyond

Hataka HTK-B175 Red Primer Base is a paint inspired by the historic anti-corrosive primer widely used by German forces during World War II. This shade perfectly replicates the red primer (Red Oxide) used for factory protection of armored vehicles, aircraft, and military equipment parts. It was most commonly found on models in scales 1/35, 1/48, 1/72—especially in reconstructions of tanks and Panzer-type carriers, Sd.Kfz. vehicles, as well as German Luftwaffe bombers.

The paint is suitable not only for historic models, but will also find use in building civilian vehicles, industrial dioramas, or post-apocalyptic figures where the realistic, slightly worn primer effect adds authenticity.
