RAF Photo Recon Units Set (Orange Line Lacquer) Hataka CS23DESCRIPTIONORANGE LINE lacquer based paintsStarting from instruction no A.926 (12/1940) aircraft of Photo Reconnaissance Units (P.R.U.) were to be coloured in accordance with operational requirements, without the need to conform with general RAF standards. First P.R. planes wore overall Camotint Green. Later P.R. Blue (for high-alt missions, sanctioned from 10/1944) and P.R. Pink (for low-alt missions / low-clouds-base conditions) were used on most of P.R. planes, except for those operating in North Africa and Far East, which used overall Royal Blue instead (better suited for local conditions).Contains the following colours (lacquer based paints, optimised for use with airbrush):HTK-C024 P.R.
