Hataka HTK-C332 Turquise Blue (RAL 5018) 17ml is a high-quality modeling lacquer from the renowned Orange Line series by Hataka Hobby, dedicated to modelers who value professional results along with greater control over the painting process. This highly specialized solvent-based paint stands out with its original blue-turquoise shade, compliant with the RAL 5018 palette, used mainly on the lower surfaces of Finnish Air Force – LVA (LeRivoimat) aircraft in the pre-war period and during World War II.

This product is particularly recommended for precisely replicating historical paint schemes of Finnish training and reconnaissance aircraft from the first half of the 20th century. Initially, Turquoise Blue was applied to the lower surfaces of LVA-operated machines, and later the entire airframes of training aircraft, as well as the undersides of reconnaissance planes, were painted in this color.

The Hataka HTK-C332 lacquer is based on synthetic solvents, but thanks to the unique Orange Line formula, it features a much milder scent and low aggressiveness towards plastic model parts. It is the perfect choice for both airbrush and precise brushwork. The paint is primarily intended for modelers building replicas in 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32 scales who demand uncompromising coverage quality and color accuracy true to the historical original.
