AK Real Colors - Gelbbraun-Yellow Brown RAL 8000

AK Real Colors is a high-quality lacquer-based paint formulated with an advanced chemical composition that offers superior performance compared to many other brands on the market. Designed for modelers, it provides excellent flow through an airbrush, strong adhesion to surfaces, and dries smoothly with a soft, durable finish. Once cured, it withstands all types of weathering products without losing adhesion or quality.

For best results, the paint may be thinned with AK Real Colors High Compatibility Thinner (RC701 or RC702) or other thinners designed for lacquer-based paints.

Applications:

• This color is used for painting vehicles and other equipment of the German Army in the so-called first tropical scheme (Tropen 1) intended for use in Africa from March 1941 until March 1942. According to the army regulations RAL 8000 should cover 2/3 of vehicle’s surface, with the remainder being painted in RAL 7008.
  
• Both the photographic and documentary evidence confirms that vehicles painted in tropical colors also found use on the Eastern Front. This includes 38 Tiger I tanks issued to Grossdeutschland division, SS-LAH, SS-Das Reich, and SS-Totenkopf divisions from December 1942 to February 1943 which were painted in the first tropical scheme similarly to the Tiger tanks issued to North Africa.

Comes in a 17ml bottle.
