luftwaffe pre-war camouflage colors

This set offers the modeler the four colors that were used for painting all Luftwaffe front line aircraft from 1936 onward. Although the tri-color upper surface camouflage pattern consisting of RLM 61, 62 and 63, was officially replaced with the RLM 70/71 scheme after 1938, many aircraft retained the former camouflage standard during the first campaigns of the World War II. The colors provided with this set are also useful for painting models of most of the German aircraft used by the Legion Condor during the Spanish Civil War, including many of those that were handed over to the newly-born Spanish Air Force after the end of hostilities.

The RLM 65 remained one of the basic underside colors of Luftwaffe aircraft throughout the entire World War II, whilst RLM 61 and 62 were reinstated under new designations in the late period of war.
Our AIR series paints are not only historically accurate and specially formulated with top quality components to exacting standards; our paints also take into account the effect of scale reduction. Ready to use straight from the bottle; simply shake, and the paint is ready to go. Dilution is not necessary when airbrushing AK paints; however, when painting camouflage or fine lines, add a few drops of our specially formulated thinner AK-712. Useful with all acrylic paints, AK-712 improves the performance of the paint and is vastly superior to most other available thinners, resulting in a greater degree of coverage when applied by brush.
