HATAKA AS82 Royal Netherlands AF paint set vol 2

Standard colours of Dutch aircraft since 1970s

In late 1960s the Royal Netherlands Air Force introduced the so-called “NATO scheme” onto it’s aircraft – RAL7012 and RAL6014 over RAL7001. With introduction of F-16A/Bs in 1979 the standard tri-colour F-16 scheme was implemented (also used on some NF-5s).

In the similar period many other RNLAF aircraft (including C-130, F-27, F-50 and F-60) were repainted in a combination of FS36118 and FS36375 (either with FS36375 bottom or in a wrap-around version).

The next generation fighters of RNLAF – F-35A Lightning II – will use standard scheme of the type of FS36170 Have Glass Grey.

Apart from the above mentioned colours the set also includes a semi-metallic light-orange, used on the F-16 of the Solo Display Team in 2009-2013.
