Hataka HTK-C019 Medium Green 42C 17ml is a high-quality hobby lacquer belonging to the renowned "Orange Line" series by Hataka Hobby. The product is aimed at demanding modelers who expect full control over the painting process, while also seeking solutions characterized by safe use and compatibility with delicate plastic model parts.

Hataka HTK-C019 Medium Green 42C is based on authentic color specifications, corresponding, among others, to the Medium Green 42C shade used by the USAAF (United States Army Air Forces) during World War II. This paint finds wide application in aircraft modeling, especially for recreating fighter and bomber airplanes such as the P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, or B-17 Flying Fortress, which were extensively used in Europe and the Pacific between 1942-1945. Medium Green 42C was employed for masking and camouflage of upper aircraft surfaces, particularly to supplement previously used Olive Drab and Neutral Grey, especially in regions of intense enemy air activity.

The product belongs to the category of solvent-based modeling lacquers, ensuring rapid drying, greater resistance to mechanical damage, and compatibility with further weathering and application of modeling filters. Orange Line paints are known for their much less intense odor compared to competing products and a non-aggressive formula, meaning they do not cause deformation or warping of delicate plastic model surfaces.
