A special set of 3rd Generation acrylic paints including the three basic camouflage colors used for painting German army vehicles in the 1937-43 period.

RAL 7017 Dunkelbraun and RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau were the standard camouflage colors used in 1937-40. From 1940 until the spring of 1943, RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau was used as a single camouflage color.

During the winter of 1941-42, the German forces in the East started applying white camouflage, which can be easily reproduced using the Washable White Paint included in the set.

This set contains:

• AK11315 RAL 7017 Dunkelbraun.
• AK11316 RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau.
• AK11372 Washable White Paint.

Most of the vehicles and equipment initially shipped to Africa were painted RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau overall.

In March 1941, the first camo colours specifically intended for use in Africa were selected:
RAL 8000 Gelbbraun and RAL 7008 Graugrün. These colors were to cover two thirds and one third of vehicle’s surface, respectively.

In March 1942, they were replaced by RAL 8020 Braun and RAL 7027 Grau.

The set also includes RAL 1001 Elfenbein vehicle interior color.

This set contains:      AK11316 RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau.     AK11313 RAL 7008 Graugrün.     AK11327 RAL 8000 Gelbbraun.     AK11317 RAL 7027 Grau.     AK11331 RAL 8020 Braun.     AK11333 RAL 1001 Elfenbein

RAL 7017 Dunkelbraun and RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau were the standard camo colors used in 1937-40.

From 1940, RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau was used as a single camo color.

In the spring of 1943, a three color camouflage system was introduced, featuring RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb as the base color and RAL 6003 Olivgrün and RAL 8017 Rotbraun for disruptive patterns.

As the two latter colors were supplied to the troops in form of emulsion paints which could be applied either straight from the container or thinned, variation in color appearance existed.
