Hataka have released three new paint sets covering Modern Portuguese, Modern Luftwaffe and Israeli modern jets.

HTK-AS60 “Modern Portuguese AF paint set vol. 2”
After the long and costly Colonial War the Portuguese AF (FAP) urgently required modern aircraft. The successor to the F-86F appeared in 1981 in the form of A-7P Corsair lI (at that time FAP’s role in NATO was Tactical Air Support for Maritime Operations). It also meant introduction of new colours (based on US SEA scheme) onto many FAP aircraft (from elderly Ginas, Alouette IIs / IIIs, Alpha Jets, to the most recent AW101s). F-16 entered service in 1994 and became FAP's first true interceptor since 1980. In 2010 the first of five P-3C Orions (purchased to replace the six P-3P) entered service in overall Light Gull Grey.

HTK-AS61 “Modern Luftwaffe paint set vol. 3”
Starting from "forest" Norm 83 camouflage scheme and having drawn lessons from too complex (and too expensive) Norm 81 scheme of F-4Fs, Luftwaffe in 1990s turned towards grey scheme based on US Federal Standard colours (similar to Tactical Paint Scheme widely used by US air forces). Norm 90J pattern was introduced onto both interceptor types - F-4F Phantom IIs previously used by West Germany and MiG-29s inherited after East German AF. Later the similar scheme was introduced as Norm 95 onto Tornado fleet. Together with acquisition of Eurofighter Typhoons a new, one-colour scheme was adopted.

• HTK-A037 – Light Ghost Grey – FS36375, used for undersides in Norm 90J (F-4F Phantom II, MiG-29G/GT) and Norm 95 (Tornado) Luftwaffe schemes

HTK-AS62 “Israeli Air Force paint set (modern jets)”
The so-called "1970's desert scheme" introduced in July 1967 remained in use on various IAF aircraft (incl. F-4s and A-4s) till their withdrawal from service. At the same time the "Air Superiority Grey" scheme, derived from US "Compass Ghost Grey" pattern, was introduced in 1976 together with first F-15A/Bs (and has later been used on F-15C/D, Kfir C2 and RF-4E Phantom). In 1980 first F-16A/Bs entered service in modified desert scheme. It has been used on all versions of F-16, Kfir C7s and F-15Is. Recently introduced M-346I "Lavi" and F-35I "Adir" have brought new painting schemes into IAF use.
