Modern Portugese AF paint set Vol.1

Hataka, paint set of the Portuguese Air Force (Vol. 1)

A set of eight modeling paints in bottles with a capacity of 17 ml, put together according to the standard shades of the Portuguese Air Force from roughly the 1950s to the 1970s. One essential piece of information right at the start: it is a solvent-based lacquer range that is thinned with the lacquer thinner of the same range. These are not acrylic paints, they are not thinned with water and they are not mixed with acrylics. The same set also exists from the manufacturer in an acrylic version under practically the same name; the two ranges are told apart by the marking on the bottle and by the color of the label. The manufacturer is the Polish brand Hataka.

Use

• The paints are intended above all for spraying with an airbrush and are thinned with the lacquer thinner of the same range
• Do not thin them with water or with an acrylic thinner, as the paint would curdle
• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, the pigment settles at the bottom
• Spray in thin coats onto a degreased and primed surface
• Lacquer paints dry fast and once cured they are durable, taking masking and a wash

Who the set is for

For modelers who build aircraft of the Portuguese Air Force and want to have the shades together without mixing. It will also serve as a source of ordinary aircraft grays and greens for other projects. Given the chemistry it suits those who already work with lacquer paints and an airbrush.

A flammable liquid containing solvent. Work in a well-ventilated area or in a spray booth, use a respirator, protect your eyes and skin and keep the product out of the reach of children.
