Hataka (blue line) Late WW2 German AFV Paint Set

The Hataka Blue Line Late WWII German AFV Paint Set is a specialist acrylic paint set designed for accurately finishing German armoured fighting vehicles from the late WWII period (1943–1945) in scale modelling.

It provides a comprehensive range of late-war Dunkelgelb-based camouflage colours, along with field-applied tones and temporary whitewash finishes used across the European theatre.

About the set

Late-war German armour featured a wide variety of factory and field-applied camouflage schemes due to changing regulations, supply shortages, and operational demands. Vehicles were often painted in combinations of Dunkelgelb (yellow), Olivegrün, and Rotbraun, with additional disruptive patterns and winter whitewash applied in the field.

This set captures those historically accurate late-war variations.
