Modern Royal Air Force Paint Set Vol. 1 8x17ml Hataka HTK-BS52

Acrylic paint set from the Blue Line series, optimized for brush painting, containing standard colors of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) used since the 1990s.

Since the 1990s (drawing conclusions from operations during the Gulf War in 1990-91), the Royal Air Force has expanded the use of grey camouflage schemes on strike and reconnaissance aircraft (including Jaguar GR1/3, Tornado GR1/4, and other Buccaneer aircraft) as well as advanced training aircraft BAe Hawk. The Harrier fleet transitioned to grey paint only in 1995, previously using the famous NATO Green / Lichen Green scheme on GR5, GR7/7A, and T10/12 variants. During this time, modifications of grey schemes were also introduced for RAF interceptor fighters, leading to the adoption of Barley Grey as the standard color for the entire Eurofighter Typhoon fleet.
