Most of 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 and RAL 7008. These colours were to cover two thirds and one third of a vehicle’s surface, respectively. In March 1942, they were replaced by RAL 8020 and RAL 7027. Both the photographic and documentary evidence confirms that vehicles painted in tropical colours 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 of RAL 8000 \/ RAL 7008 similarly to the Tigers issued to North Africa. The set also contains RAL 1001 interior colour used for painting the upper parts of interior compartments of fully enclosed armoured vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMay be diluted with \u003cstrong\u003eRC701\/RC702 High Compatibility Thinner\u003c\/strong\u003e or other thinners intended for lacquer based paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRC856 Dunkelgrau-Dark Grey RAL 7021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRC853 Graugrün-Grey Green RAL 7008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRC861 Gelbbraun-Yellow Brown RAL 8000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRC857 Grau-Grey RAL 7027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRC865 Braun-Brown RAL 8020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRC851 Elfenbein-Ivory RAL 1001 (Interior Colour)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt comes in 18ml bottles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e AK Interactive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e RCS124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic Paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8435568340152\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AK Interactive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57711493972341,"sku":"RCS124","price":16.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/4590\/3920\/files\/RCS124_cover_633b.jpg?v=1793779879","url":"https:\/\/accessmodels.co.uk\/products\/ak-interactive-german-afrika-korps-colors-1941-1943-set-rcs124","provider":"Access Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
