Pucara Light Tan

The color

A light brownish tone from the Orange Line range by Hataka, listed under the name Pucara Light Tan. The name ties it to the Argentine attack aircraft FMA IA-58 Pucará, a twin-engine turboprop machine intended for the support of ground units, whose camouflage is made up of muted brown and green tones.

Where you will use it

Above all on Pucará models and on other machines with South American camouflage. It will serve just as well wherever you need a light earthy brown: on desert and steppe schemes, on dusty upper surfaces and as the lighter tone when brightening darker brown areas. It also comes into its own on wooden crates, tarpaulins and other small items for a diorama.

How to apply the paint

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles at the bottom. The thinner intended for this range and the thinning ratio are given by the manufacturer on the package; there is no point in mixing thinners from other ranges into the paint. Spray in several thin coats and let each one set, as a single heavy coat floods the fine engraving. On multi-color camouflage it pays to work from the lighter shade to the darker one, because the transitions are then easier to even out.
