Falklands Conflict Paint Set Vol. 1 8x17ml Hataka HTK-BS27

Acrylic paint set from the Blue Line series, optimized for brush painting, containing standard colors of the Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina) used during the Falklands Conflict (Malvinas) in 1982.

The Argentine aviation actively participated in the military operations, utilizing most of the aircraft types available at the time. Some aircraft, including the Mirage IIIEA and IAI Dagger, wore a standard camouflage similar to the American SEA scheme. At the same time, the heavily used IA-58A Pucara attack aircraft, originally painted in semi-matt aluminum color, were quickly deemed too visible. This led to the application of camouflage in field conditions using locally available paints, resulting in a great variety of applied schemes and shades.
