Historical background:
The color Medium Green 42 was used as a complement to the Olive Drab camouflage on American aircraft during World War II. This standard was introduced in September 1940. Although the basic camouflage color remained Olive Drab, the dark green spots of Medium Green 42 provided better concealment against the backdrop of summer vegetation. Throughout the war, the color specification evolved - in 1941 it was designated as ANA 612 (Medium Green), and after the war, it became the basis for the FS 3406 and ultimately FS 34079 colors.

• Application: Ideal for wet palette technique and painting directly from the bottle.
• How to use: Shake the bottle vigorously before use to ensure the metal ball thoroughly mixes the pigment. It is recommended to apply several thin layers at intervals of about 15 minutes.
• Dilution: Although it can be painted without dilution, for the best results it is recommended to use the dedicated Hataka Hobby Acrylic Thinner (HTK-XP01) in a ratio of 10/90 to 20/80.
• Durability: The paint dries to a matte finish. Full waterproofing and durability of the coating is achieved after about 24 hours from application.
