Hataka HTK-C205 BS Light Admiralty Grey (BS381C:697) 17ml – model paint from the Orange Line series

Hataka HTK-C205 BS Light Admiralty Grey (BS381C:697) with a capacity of 17 ml is a high-quality model paint created for demanding modelers seeking an accurate reproduction of historic military colors. The BS Light Admiralty Grey shade comes from the British color standard palette BS381C:697 and was widely used on Royal Navy naval vessels from the late 1930s up to the post-war period. It gained particular significance during World War II as one of the key shades for ship camouflage, including destroyers, frigates, aircraft carriers, and also on RAF and Fleet Air Arm air installations as a marking and detailing color for aircraft.

The Orange Line series by Hataka Hobby features modern, solvent-based model paints designed for precision and safe working conditions. The HTK-C205 BS Light Admiralty Grey paint is developed using technology that provides:

• Less intense odor than traditional enamel or lacquer model paints
• Minimal aggressiveness towards plastic – does not damage delicate surfaces of plastic models
• Excellent adhesion to modeling surfaces (styrene, resin, photo-etched parts)
• Fast drying for convenient multi-stage work and precise masking

The paint is intended for both brush and airbrush application – it provides an exceptionally smooth finish and uniform coverage even on details with complex geometry. This universal product is compatible with various primers and finishing varnishes, making it a recommended choice for modelers of all skill levels.
