Late WW2 German Afv Set (Blue Line Acrylic) Hataka BS94
DESCRIPTION
BLUE LINE – OPTIMISED FOR BRUSH
Standard colours of German military vehicles from 1943 till 1945
The early war overall Dunkelgrau livery of German AFVs was officially changed in February 1943, when the Dunkelgelb (dark yellow) base paint was introduced (at that point without an assigned RAL number), which was to be camouflaged in field units using Olivegrün (from RLM register, later registered as RAL 6003) and Rotbraun (RAL 8017) paints. The Dunkelgelb itself was soon registered as RAL 7028. It is believed that its tone was changed at least twice – with assignment of RAL 7028 number (in March 1943 – previously it was knows as „Dunkelgelb nach Muster”) and later in 1944 („Ausgabe 1944”). Alternative camouflage colours of RAL 6007 and RAL 8012 were also used. In January 1945 base colour was changed for the last time to RAL 6003 Olivegrün.
