Israeli AF Paint Set (1970's Desert Colours) 6x17ml Hataka HTK-BS12

Acrylic paint set from the Blue Line series, optimized for brush painting. It contains 6 colors essential for recreating the desert camouflage of the Israeli Air Force (IAF) used in the 1970s.

After the Six-Day War, the existing paint scheme for Israeli support aircraft (brown and blue on a gray underside) was deemed unsuitable for operations over Sinai. In July 1967, a new scheme was introduced, later known as the "1970's desert scheme," consisting of the colors Sand, Pale Green, and Dark Tan on a Duck Egg Blue underside. The A-4H/N Skyhawk aircraft used the shade Green instead of Pale Green, while some Mirage III fighters still flew in natural metal color in 1970.
