1944-45 German Standard Colors Set

ATOM 20743

Despite what many modellers had believed, the colours used by the German military were not the same throughout the war. Towards the end of the war, some colours were changed such as the famous Dunkelgelb or Dark Yellow. The version used was lighter in 1944, and even lighter in 1945. Another very common colour applied during the last years of the war was the green shade Resedagrn, which was also subject to tonal variations.

This small set includes the four most common colours used between 1944 and 1945 and the oxide red primer colour, allowing you to bring realism and accuracy to your models. Included are the colours for such iconic vehicles as the Panther, Tiger I, Tiger II, and Panzer IV tanks; StuG III, StuG IV and Sturmtiger, self-propelled guns; Nashorn and Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyers; Sd.Kfz. 250, Sd.Kfz. 234 and Sd.Kfz. 251 half-tracks, among many others. Each tone has been carefully formulated to provide an accurate and detailed representation for your scale models.
