The Hataka HTK-BS54 Early USN & USMC Section Colours paint set (6x17ml) is a professional set of acrylic model paints, created for enthusiasts of World War II aviation, especially for modelers building replicas of US Navy and Marine Corps aircraft from the interwar period and the early years of WWII. These paints accurately reproduce the authentic identification colors used by the US Navy and USMC in 1931-1941, allowing for faithful recreation of original paint schemes for all scales, especially 1/72 and 1/48.

• HTK-B219 – Insignia Red (FS11136, ANA 509)
• HTK-B220 – True Blue (FS15102, ANA 501)

These colors were developed based on official guidelines and real-life applications in marking fighter aircraft sections (e.g., Grumman F2F-1, Brewster F2A Buffalo, Douglas TBD Devastator) and other planes operating from US Navy aircraft carriers. The paints accurately replicate, among others, the squadron section markings used by both the USN and USMC. The set also includes a clear leaflet depicting the historical squadron identification system, taking the VF-7 squadron in the year 1940 as an example, which is an invaluable aid for historical projects.

Recommendation: We highly recommend this set to aviation modelers interested in the pre-war period and reconstructions of US Navy and USMC aircraft. The paint quality, ease of brush application, and excellent coverage guarantee great results for both beginners and advanced modelers.
