For starters - new products in November

 HTK-AS66 “Modern Luftwaffe paint set vol. 4”

 

Shorty after introduction of F-4F Phantom II into service, Luftwaffe recognized that the usual Norm 72 camouflage scheme was not optimal for air-to-air combat. In 1976 a research work was started (with help of JG71 "Richthofen" and JG74 "Mölders") aimed at developing a new universal camouflage, suitable both for fighter and fighter-bomber roles. The resulting Norm 81 scheme was introduced in two variants - 81A with camouflage pattern of polygonal shapes and 81B using the same colours but in irregular shapes. The Norm 81 scheme had been officially used until introduction of Norm 90J, but was observed still in late 1990s.

HTK-AS67 “Modern US Army and USMC AFV paint set”

 
After relatively short period of using the complex MERDC camouflage, in mid-1980s a new 3-colour pattern was developed by NATO (as in the US this process was parallel to transition to Chemical Agent Resistant Coating paints - CARC - it is often referred to as "CARC scheme"). The new paint scheme was to be used by all NATO ground forces and consisted of a base green colour (FS34094) with brown (FS30051) and black (FS37030) disruptive shapes. Washable white paint was advised for temporary (partial or overall) pattern in winter environment. CARC Tan (FS33446) or more recently CARC Middle Stone (FS33531), both with strong fading tendency, have been used in desert conditions. Heavy-armour vehicles' interiors are painted gloss white, while most of APCs/IFVs still use light green shade (FS24533).

HTK-AS68 “Modern Hellenic AF paint set vol. 1”

 
Hellenic AF, known for a long time for their eye-catching colours, for many years used three types of "forest" patterns. The most widespread (worn by Hellenic A-7H/E, TA-7C/H, F/RF-5A/B, F/RF-4E, F/RF-84F, F/TF-102A, F/TF/RF-104G, T-2C/E, T-33A, C-130B/H, C-47, Do-28D-2 and YS-11A) was the famous "South-East Asia, SEA" or "Vietnam" camouflage scheme. It was introduced in HAF in early 1970s and it has recently been used on some of HAF's RF-4E Phantom IIs and T-2C/E Buckeyes. Northop F-5A/B airframes purchased from Jordan in 1980s were delivered and initially flown by HAF in another US-origin pattern - so-called "Asia Minor" scheme. Finally, ex-Luftwaffe RF-4Es have been operated in Norm 83 scheme (some are still spotted).

HTK-AS69 “WW2 Imperial Japanese Army AFV paint set”

 
The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) until 1942 (according to most sources) used a colorful camo consisting of IJA Khaki (base colour) with disruptive shapes of IJA Tea Brown (to some extent also used as a base colour), IJA Olive Green and IJA Earth Brown. Many vehicles also wore a yellow disruptive stripe (usually claimed to be a bright yellow, but recently sources suggest that this was more pale IJA Parched Grass - both included in the set), sometimes with black outline. Starting in 1942, the IJA transitioned to a simpler and more standardized set of colors - a new base khaki color (IJA Parched Grass) with disruptive shapes of IJA Grass Green (mostly used on South Pacific) or late IJA Olive Green and IJA Earth Brown.
