Hataka (blue line) RN Fleet Air Arm Vol.1

The Hataka Blue Line Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Vol.1 Paint Set is a specialist acrylic paint set designed for accurately finishing Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm aircraft in scale modelling.

It provides a core selection of historically accurate colours used on FAA aircraft across WWII and post-war naval aviation schemes, suitable for both brush and airbrush application.

About the set

The Fleet Air Arm operated a wide range of carrier-based aircraft throughout WWII and beyond, often using camouflage schemes adapted for maritime operations, low-altitude sea flight, and carrier service conditions.
