Hataka C080 Vert paint 17ml C080

Hataka Hobby modeling paint from the Orange Line series (cellulose lacquers) in Vert (green) color. This is an authentic shade used by the French Air Force (Armée de l'air) in camouflage schemes introduced just before the outbreak of World War II.

History and application:

• The Vert color was introduced in 1938 as part of new camouflage schemes.
• Until then, French military machines usually remained in their natural metal color.
• After the Munich Conference, this color became a key component of multi-color upper surface camouflage schemes for aircraft, alongside colors such as Kaki, Gris Bleu Foncé, or Brun Foncé.

Product characteristics:

• Orange Line Series: High-quality lacquer-based paint, optimized for airbrushing.
• Professional use: Allows for applying very thin layers, laser effects, and precise shading.
• Properties: The paint is characterized by a limited odor compared to traditional cellulose lacquers, which increases working comfort in home conditions.
• Drying: Dries quickly to a smooth, satin surface. Full durability and water resistance are achieved after about 24 hours.

Operational recommendations:

• Shake the bottle vigorously before use until the pigment is completely mixed (there is a metal ball inside to facilitate the process).
• Recommended thinning: Dedicated Hataka Hobby Lacquer Thinner (HTK-XP03) in proportions from 40/60 to 60/40.
• Working pressure: The best results are achieved with an air pressure in the range of 10-20 psi.
• Note: Do not mix the product with water-based paints and thinners.
