Hataka hobby are to launch five new acrylic paint sets for aviation subjects, including an early and late Luftwaffe colour sets.
We are pleased to announce the launch of Hataka, a new brand for modellers, which is a result of combining many years of experience in scale modelling, passion for history with more than 12 months of preparations.

Hataka is a producer of paints and auxiliary products for modellers, based on cutting-edge technologies and 100% historically true colour philosophy.

Hataka is announcing rapid growth plans for the next months, currently entering the market with some very promising acrylic paint sets, soon to be
available with distributors across Europe. All information on the product offer and accessibility of Hataka products can be found under

www.hataka-hobby.com.

At first we introduce to sale our five new acrylic paint sets for aviation modellers, marking the start of a historically verified, all true colour series.

The new sets naturally align with the collection philosophy that we have adopted.

"September 1939" collection, recalling the very beginning of World War II and the time of Nazi blitzkrieg, is represented by Polish Air Force paint
set and Early Luftwaffe paint set,offering universal colours for early WWII Luftwaffe fighters, as well as bombers and ground attack aircraft throughout the war. That is why it also belongs to "Battle of Britain" collection in Hataka's offer.

The third set "Late Luftwaffe colours" is providing everything modellers need to bring their Me-262s, He-162s and many more to historically correct and at the same time attractive look. The set is a first one in Hataka's "Defending the Reich" collection.

Two last sets belong to "D-Day" and "War at Sea" collections which will encompass paints for allied and axis planes fighting in this two distinct fronts of World War II.

If these are alcohol based, they'll fall under the dangerous goods brought on by our all knowing regulators, so there will be no mail order. In the spring, I'm heading into the forest to gather different berries to squish together and try and create 'historically verified, true colors'!! Soon, that's all we'll have left

Hi Ben The regulations must differ from country to country, because I've bought alcohol-based paints and thinners by mail order recently without problem, both within the UK and from overseas. All the best Rowan

Hi Rowan Yes, I used to buy it all, and fairly recently. Now, I cannot buy Tamiya acrylic or Humbrol enamel etc,etc... from the USA or the UK. I believe Japan still does send, at my own risk. The fella at the LHS says he'll hide stuff in a model package, if I want it. I not saying nutn'. Cheers

Almost all online Sprue Brother orders that contain paint, are shipped by land only. No air. Takes all of a 2 days longer, and it's a lot cheaper. Ben, but there are a lot of water based acrylics that are excellent. LifeColor is my favorite by far. And they have every color you can think of. Joel

The Polish color line is most welcome, I do have to question that HTK-A029 is both listed as RLM 65 and 78. I thought those colors were different hues?

Ben, I just read a similar thread on another modeling site. Some of the Canadians that live near the USA border have a Post Office box in a USA city, and have all their orders shipped there. They then make periodic trips there as needed. Saves them a lot of money over an extended period of time. So this got me thinking about what could other Canadians do that don't live close enough to the border to make this a quick and easy trip? How about getting several modelers together in a kind of association, and jointly rent one box. Just make sure that one or two members can make the run lets say once per month. Pay their expenses, and the shipping costs from their house to yours. Plan ahead on needed models and supplies, and you're in business. Joel

Hi, Joel. I have thought about your solutions before. Sadly, I feel like a lone stallion out here where I live; don't know of any plastic modellers close by (+/- 10,000 people in the area), and I'm 2hrs from the nearest city. I'll either have to drive to the city a couple of times a year and take what the LHS can supply, or get to squishing those colorful berries together. I really do appreciate the thought your extending to this issue. Hopefully, the paint manufacturers will give it thought as well.

There are other Canadian modelers on this site. PM about this or a similar idea. See what you can work out. All you really need is a courier that will deliver from someone to you. If you're a member of other sites, do it there as well. Betcha you'll find that others will gladly join in. Joel
