Product description

AV-8As entered service with USMC in 1971 wearing Dark Green / Gunship Grey over Light Gull Grey pattern. In early 1980s, parallel to introduction of AV-8Bs (and modification of A variant to C standard), new colours were introduced - Extra Dark Green and Dark Blue-Grey (firstly on upper surfaces, later in wrap-around scheme). During the Operation Desert Storm the "Land Camo" was regarded as ineffective in desert conditions and field-repainting of AV-8Bs was ordered (mostly with paints available in neighbouring units) - either by covering only the dark green patches of camo or by repainting of overall aircraft.
HTK-AS63 includes standard colours of Harrier fleet in USMC service from 1970s till 1990s.
The set contains:
HTK-A016 - Dark Green FS34079, used for upper surfaces in initial camouflage of USMC AV-8As from start of their service in 1971 till late-1970s
HTK-A031 - Gunship Grey FS36118, used for upper surfaces in initial camouflage of USMC AV-8As from start of their service in 1971 till late-1970s
HTK-A048 - Light Gull Grey FS36440, used for lower surfaces of AV-8As. Later used on AV-8B/Cs in "Land Camo Scheme" (1980s-90s)
HTK-A232 - Extra Dark Green FS34064, briefly used for upper surfaces of AV-8As. Later used on AV-8B/Cs in "Land Camo Scheme" (1980s-90s)
HTK-A235 - Dark Blue-Grey FS36099, briefly used for upper surfaces of AV-8As. Later used on AV-8B/Cs in "Land Camo Scheme" (1980s-90s)
HTK-A153 MK-7 Temporary White Washable (temporary) matt paint used to cover the green areas in improvised winter camouflage of AV-8A/Cs
HTK-A037 - Light Ghost Grey FS36375, used in temporary camouflage (covering "green" patches) of USMC AV-8Bs during war over Iraq (ODS)
HTK-A046 - Medium Grey FS35237, closest match to field-mixed colour used during ODS on VMA-231 AV-8Bs (wrap-around with FS36375)
