HTK-AS48 “Modern Luftwaffe paint set vol. 1”

Since 1960s till early 1980s Luftwaffe used different variants of two-tone camouflage - Norm 62, Norm 72 and finally Norm 76 used on early Tornados - composed of Basalt Grey and Yellow Olive on upper surfaces. German Navy Aviation (Marineflieger) used Norm 76 camouflage variant with Basalt Grey on upper surfaces and either White Aluminium or Light Grey on lower surfaces. The early schemes frequently featured also the high-vis elements of Luminous Orange. Early fighters (CL-13, F-84 and F-104) wore overall natural metal (aluminium) livery, except for lower surfaces of F-104s wings that were painted in Voodoo Grey. HTK-AS48 includes colours for all above mentioned planes.
