Hataka HTK-B009 Dark Earth – Acrylic Model Paint 17ml

Hataka HTK-B009 Dark Earth is a high-quality, water-based acrylic paint from the Blue Line series, designed primarily for brush painting. The product has been developed by the renowned Polish manufacturer Hataka Hobby, recognized worldwide among modelers for its precise reproduction of historical colors and safe usage.

The Dark Earth color is one of the key shades used when painting models of aircraft and military vehicles used by the Allies during World War II. It is especially common on British RAF aircraft such as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, and Wellington. It was an integral component of the famous RAF camouflage patterns: with Dark Green and Sky or Medium Sea Grey. Dark Earth paint was also used on British army and allied land vehicles operating in Europe and North Africa from 1939-1945.

Hataka HTK-B009 is designed with maximum user comfort in mind – it is excellent for brush painting, providing a smooth, opaque coat without the risk of streaks. The paint does not require organic solvents – it is thinned with water or dedicated acrylic thinners.
