Hataka HTK-C235 Dark Blue-Grey (FS36099) 17ml – model paint from the Orange Line series

Hataka HTK-C235 Dark Blue-Grey (FS36099) in a 17ml bottle is a high-quality model paint designed for demanding modelers seeking perfect reproduction of historical colors and complete control over the painting process. This product comes from the renowned “Orange Line” series, dedicated to those who prefer working with solvent-based paints while enjoying minimized unpleasant odors and less aggressiveness towards plastics.

The FS36099 Dark Blue-Grey shade is based on the Federal Standard, used in the painting of military vehicles—particularly in the United States Air Force. This color was used, for instance, on modern US Air Force aircraft and during the Cold War era, appearing on aircraft such as the F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 (Night Falcon versions), as well as fighter-bomber jets involved in operations like Desert Storm or Allied Force. Thanks to this paint, modelers can easily reproduce authentic paint schemes of aviation and military vehicle models from the late 20th and early 21st centuries—the Cold War era and modern times.

Why do I recommend Hataka HTK-C235? This paint is an excellent choice for both advanced modelers and intermediate hobbyists who value high quality and historical painting accuracy. It features excellent adhesion to surfaces and a satin finish, while the innovative formula ensures less aggressiveness to plastic and reduces odor intensity compared to competing paints. The 17ml bottle lasts for many applications, and the paint does not dry too quickly on the brush or in the airbrush. I recommend using this paint for 1/48, 1/72, 1/32 scale models, as well as military dioramas from the late 20th century.

Application difficulty: 2/5 – suitable for both intermediate and experienced modelers. Requires basic knowledge of working with solvent-based paints.
