Product overview

A 3rd Generation acrylic paint set featuring six colors used for painting vehicles of the German Afrika Korps in North Africa from early 1941 to May 1943.

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

In March 1941, the first camouflage 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 (Cremeweiss).

Notes · Q & A

What's the difference between a paint and a wash?

Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.

Can I use these paints in an airbrush?

Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.

Do I need a primer?

Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
