Each color in the set is selected based on the original paint schemes used by the USAF in field and aviation operations. This allows for a faithful reproduction of the legendary “European” camouflage— the characteristic green and grey combination used during NATO operations and air missions in Europe. The set is especially recommended for modelers building aircraft in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, 1/144 scale, as well as helicopters and aviation support vehicles.

Hataka paints are known for their excellent pigmentation, ease of application, short drying time, and very good adhesion to plastic, resin, and also metal surfaces when properly primed. The paint formula allows for shading, modulation, and advanced weathering effects, which will be appreciated by both advanced and intermediate modelers.

We recommend the Hataka HTK-BS10 set for aviation enthusiasts as well as those recreating Cold War and modern NATO dioramas. Difficulty level: 1/5 (very easy application). The set is also ideal for beginner modelers who want authentic results without having to mix colors themselves.
