Hataka HTK-A127 AE-9 Light Grey – water-based acrylic paint 17 ml

Hataka HTK-A127 AE-9 Light Grey is a high-quality, specialist acrylic paint from the Red Line series, designed for modelers seeking faithful reproduction of historical Soviet aircraft liveries. The AE-9 Light Grey shade was the standard color primarily used for painting the upper and side surfaces of Soviet-made aircraft from the late 1920s through the World War II period. The paint is particularly useful for building model aircraft such as the Polikarpov I-16, I-153, Tupolev SB-2, or MiG-3, which served in Soviet aviation during the conflicts of 1930–1945.

This paint is formulated using top-quality pigments, ensuring a realistic shade that matches archival Soviet standards. Its distinguishing features are excellent coverage after the first layer and a very smooth, semi-matte finish, key for precise detail reproduction in plastic modeling. Thanks to a formula optimized for airbrush use, HTK-A127 AE-9 Light Grey allows for an even, thin layer without flooding details. It can also be applied with a fine brush for touch-ups and painting small elements.
