Hataka Hobby have come up with something a little unusual for their latest acrylic paint set. HTK-AS15 is devoted to the range of interesting foreign aircraft serving in Swiss colours around the time of WW2.

HTK-AS15 “Swiss Air Force Paint Set (WW2 period)

As a response to growing political tension in Europe in late 1930s, in order to replace overall aluminium / silver liveries of majority of Swiss military aircraft, Muster 38 ("pattern 38") camouflage scheme was developed by Swiss AF and officially introduced in May 1938. With delivery of first BF-109s in early 1939 a German-origin scheme of RLM 70/71/65 (later optimized by Swiss AF towards RLM 70/65) was officially adopted and (while regarded efficient) it was subsequently copied to other types of Swiss AF aircraft, including D 3800s, D3801s and EKW C-3603s.

HTK-AS15 contains all of the above mentioned colours, providing for the comprehensive and reliable range of coloursfor modeling of Swiss Air Force aircraft from 1930s-40s. The set contains:

• HTK-A017 - Dark Green (RLM71) - Used until late 1941 for upper surfaces in RLM 70/71/65 scheme of Swiss AF planes (incl. Bf-109E, D 3800 and D 3801 fighters)
