The Hataka HTK-AS28 Falklands Conflict paint set vol. 2 (8x17ml) is a comprehensive, high-quality set dedicated to modelers recreating British aircraft and helicopters from the period of the Falklands (Malvinas) conflict in 1982. Hataka Hobby produces professional water-based paints characterized by excellent coverage, intense colors, and ease of application on various surfaces – both with a brush and an airbrush.

• The set includes 8 colors in 17 ml bottles:
• BS Extra Dark Sea Grey (HTK-A140) – main color for Sea Harrier FRS.1 (800/801 NAS, HMS Hermes, HMS Invincible)
• BS Medium Sea Grey (HTK-A141) – used on upper surfaces of Sea Harrier FRS.1 (809 NAS) and Avro Vulcan B.2

These are water-based acrylic paints produced in Poland, perfect for modelers seeking precise replication of the historical colors of British aviation from the Falklands War period (April–June 1982, Cold War era). The colors adhere to BS381C standards and correspond to the originals used on the likes of Sea Harrier, Harrier GR.3, Avro Vulcan bomber, and a wide range of Royal Navy and RAF helicopters.

The set falls into the category of acrylic model paints for military aviation and enables you to achieve an authentic finish for models in 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, and even larger scales. Thanks to superb adhesion and pigmentation, it is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who expect to reproduce the colorful, demanding paint schemes of the Falklands conflict. Difficulty rating: 2/5.

I recommend this set for its historical accuracy, versatility, and high quality – it is an indispensable choice for fans of British military aviation as well as collectors of 1980s model kits seeking faithful reconstructions of air vehicles used by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force over the South Atlantic.
