Panzer III Ausf. J "North Afrika" 1/35

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.

Also included are the Washable White Paint, useful for reproducing the winter camouflage schemes applied to many vehicles during the winter of 1944-45, and RAL 8012 Rotbraun primer and interior color that probably also found some use as camouflage color.
