RAF Bomber Command Set (Orange Line Lacquer) Hataka CS102
DESCRIPTION
ORANGE LINE LAQUER BASED PAINTS
Standard colours of RAF bomber force during WW2
Starting from 1939 majority of RAF Bomber Command aircraft wore a version of Temperate Land Scheme with either Sky Type S (light bombers, mid-1940 to mid-1942) or Night (heavy bombers, 1939 till mid-1942) undersides. Unlike the Fighter Command, which after 1941 switched to more offensive camouflage, the Bomber Command stuck to original sand and spinach livery Day Bomber and Night Bomber Schemes after July 1942 again featured DE + DG / Sky or Night respectively. The only exception was De Havilland Mosquito bombers, most of which left the factory in overall Medium Sea Grey with Dark Green camouflage on upper surfaces only (a consequence of multiple versions being assembled on the same production lines).
Contains the following colours (lacquer based paints, optimised for use with airbrush):
- HTK-C009 Dark Earth Used throughout WW2 on upper surfaces of majority of RAF bombers in Temperate Land Scheme
- HTK-C016 Dark Green Used throughout WW2 on upper surfaces of majority of RAF bombers in Temperate Land Scheme

- HTK-C025 Interior Grey-Green Standard colour of cockpit interiors and wheel wells of RAF Bomber Command aircraft throughout WW2
- HTK-C175 Red Dope (Red Primer) The best match for the red protective dope used on fabric sections of RAF bombers (visible on interiors)
