Hataka (orange line) Air Ambulance (HEMS) Paint Set Vol 1

The Hataka Orange Line Air Ambulance (HEMS) Paint Set Vol. 1 is a specialist acrylic paint set designed for accurately finishing Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) and air ambulance aircraft in scale modelling.

It provides the bright, high-visibility colours commonly used on modern emergency medical aviation schemes, suitable for both brush and airbrush application.

About the set

Air ambulance and HEMS aircraft rely on high-visibility liveries to ensure rapid identification in all weather and lighting conditions, both in the air and on the ground. These schemes typically use intense reds, yellows, oranges, and contrasting whites and greens to maximise visibility during rescue operations.
