Hataka (blue line) RAF South-East Asia Paint Set

The Hataka Blue Line RAF South-East Asia Paint Set is a specialist acrylic paint set designed for accurately finishing Royal Air Force aircraft operating in the South-East Asia theatre during WWII in scale modelling.

It provides the standard camouflage and interior colours used on RAF aircraft deployed to tropical jungle and monsoon environments, suitable for both brush and airbrush application.

About the set

RAF aircraft operating in Burma, India, and surrounding regions required camouflage suited to dense jungle terrain, humid conditions, and varied lighting. Many aircraft retained or adapted standard RAF schemes such as Dark Earth and Dark Green, alongside lighter underside colours like Sky S or Sky Blue depending on operational period and repainting availability.

This set captures those tropical theatre RAF colour schemes.
