swimmer25k Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) I'm looking where to buy some Hataka paints. Their website has been troublesome and I'm looking for a distributor. Thanks, Chris Edited May 21, 2017 by swimmer25k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) I have some Hataka paints and they are by far the worst paints I have ever used. They don't mix well, to use them I've had to pull the dropper off the bottle and stir them even though they have BBs in the bottles. Some of the colors seem really far off, I have the French set and RAF colors. Edited May 21, 2017 by nspreitler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgrease Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Everyone has a different experience with Hataka. I have sprayed them through my cheap Chinese airbrush with no issues. If you plan on doing fine lines you'll certainly have to thin them down. I have the USAF SEA colors and they look right to my eye. Where are you located? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gocoogs Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 They are very much hit or miss, imo. I purchased the early Luftwaffe set and absolutely loved them. My experience with early USN set, otoh, was similar to nspreitler's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If you are in the US you can try megahobby (www.megahobby.com) . They carry Hataka paint. I have ordered a few times from megahobby and have been impressed with their service. I have yet to use Hataka paint, but they do have some hard to find colors.

Camus272 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'd be interested to see how their FS36170 looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
