The Hataka HTK-CS99 US Army paint set (MASSTER & DUALTEX) is a high-quality product intended for modelers seeking to faithfully recreate historical United States Army land vehicles from the Cold War era. The set contains 8 bottles of 17 ml each, providing a comprehensive palette of original shades used in the experimental MASSTER and DUALTEX paint schemes applied between 1970–1980 on vehicles stationed in Europe (USAREUR).

Application and History

The Cold War period was characterized by rapid advancements in military technology as well as the search for increasingly effective methods of vehicle camouflage on the battlefield. In the 1970s and 80s, US Army Europe vehicles received experimental multicolor camouflage schemes: MASSTER (Mobility Equipment Army Standardization Sample Test Evaluation and Review) and DUALTEX. With this set, the modeler can recreate vehicles such as the M60 tank, M113 APCs, and many other armored and mechanized units used by the USA in Western Europe.
