AK Interactive 3rd Generation AFV Series: Afrika Korps Colors 1941-43 Set (AK11652) – 6 x 17ml

Master the historical accuracy of the North African theater with the AK Interactive Afrika Korps Colors 1941-43 Set. This elite 3rd Generation acrylic paint set features six essential colors used to replicate the evolving camouflage schemes of the German Deutsche Afrika Korps (DAK) from early 1941 until the campaign's conclusion in May 1943. Utilizing the most sophisticated modeling paint formula ever created, these colors provide incredible adhesion and the high pigmentation required for a perfect matte finish on historical AFV kits. This set meticulously tracks the DAK's regulatory color changes. It includes the initial RAL 7021 Dunkelgrau seen on early equipment, the March 1941 specialized desert tones (RAL 8000 and RAL 7008), and the March 1942 replacements (RAL 8020 and RAL 7027). Additionally, the inclusion of RAL 1001 Elfenbein provides the authentic tone for vehicle interiors. Revised and updated for the 3GEN line, these AFV series paints are the definitive choice for hobbyists seeking professional-quality results for North African military modeling.

Tip: Historical Camouflage Ratios Per March 1941 regulations, vehicles were typically painted in a ratio of two-thirds RAL 8000 Gelbbraun (AK11327) and one-third RAL 7008 Graugrün (AK11313). Apply the Graugrün in cloud-like patterns over the Gelbbraun base to achieve the authentic early-desert look. Recommendation: Interior Accuracy Always use RAL 1001 Elfenbein (AK11333) for the internal surfaces of armored vehicles. The 3GEN formula allows for smooth, thin coats that preserve the intricate details of hatches and command interiors without clogging.
