Hataka Hobby HTK-BS89 Modern Czech AF Paint Set

Standard colours of Czech aircraft since 1990s

The Czech AF was one of the first amongst the former Warsaw Pact armies to develop a totally new camouflage scheme (after more than 20 years it is still in active use). The new colours were first observed in mid-1990s on eleven W-3 helicopters and were later used on Mi-2, Mi-8/17/171 and Mi-24V.

In mid-2000s the same scheme was also adopted on Let-410 transports and (without green colour) on L-159A/T1 light fighters/trainers.

Since 2005 Czech AF operates 12 JAS 39C and 2 JAS 39D in primary fighter role, which feature a standard Gripen scheme of FS36173 over FS36373.
