Hataka (blue line) Late Luftwaffe Paint Set

The Hataka Blue Line Late Luftwaffe Paint Set is a specialist acrylic paint set designed for accurately finishing German Luftwaffe aircraft from the later stages of WWII (1943–1945) in scale modelling.

It provides historically appropriate camouflage and underside colours used on late-war Luftwaffe aircraft, suitable for both brush and airbrush application.

About the set

As WWII progressed, Luftwaffe camouflage schemes evolved into more varied and complex patterns, often incorporating greys, violets, and greens depending on factory, unit, and operational requirements. Late-war shortages and rapid production changes also led to significant variation in finishes.

This set reflects those late-war RLM-style tones used on fighters, interceptors, and late-production aircraft.
