Hataka Hobby have sent us details of their latest set in their fast-expanding range of popular acrylic paints. The pack contains 6 x17ml bottles of British Army colours for European operations in WW2.
During WW2 British Army vehicles in Europe were painted according to Army Council Instructions and Military Training Pamphlets. Generally two-greens camo (G4 over G3) and then two-browns camo (S.C.C. 1A over S.C.C. 2, result of shortage of ingredients used for green colours) were most commonly used from 1939 till 1943. In October 1943 a blue-black colour (S.C.C. 14) was approved as a main shade over S.C.C. 2. From April 1944 S.C.C. 15 became the last war-period base colour of British AFV.
HTK-AS22 contains all of the above mentioned colours, providing for the first time comprehensive and reliable range of colours for British AFV modellers.

HTK-A064 - Khaki Green No. 3 (G3) - No. 3 B.S.381-1939. Also known as "Service Colour". Base colour of British AFV between 1939-41. Also overall colour of some vehicles
