Product Spotlight: Vallejo WWII German Armor Paint Set
Attention history buffs and scale modelers! Historia Emporium - The History Store is excited to showcase the Vallejo 70205 WWII German Armor Paint Set. This comprehensive set of six 17ml bottles is perfect for accurately recreating the iconic colors of German armored vehicles from World War II.
Historical Context
During World War II, German tanks and armored vehicles underwent several changes in their paint schemes. Early in the war, most German armor was painted in a solid Dunkelgrau (dark gray) color[2]. However, as the conflict progressed, more complex camouflage patterns were introduced.
In February 1943, the German High Command ordered all vehicles to be painted with a base coat of Dunkelgelb RAL 7028 (dark yellow). This was then supplemented with camouflage patterns using Rotbraun RAL 8017 (red-brown) and Olivgrün RAL 6003 (olive green)[2]. These colors are accurately represented in the Vallejo paint set.
Set Contents
The Vallejo 70205 WWII German Armor Paint Set includes six essential colors for recreating authentic German armor schemes:
- Dunkelgelb (Dark Yellow)
- Rotbraun (Red Brown)
- Olivgrün (Olive Green)
- Dunkelgrau (Dark Gray)
- Schwarzgrau (Black Gray)

These high-quality acrylic paints are perfect for brush painting or airbrushing, allowing modelers to recreate various camouflage patterns used throughout the war, including the famous "Ambush" or "Hinterhalt" schemes introduced in late 1944[2].
