ARCUS Hobby Colors - 209 RAL 8017 Rotbraun (Red Brown)

Authentic paint Wehrmacht

Wehrmacht Order No. 181 of February 1943 introduced a new camouflage scheme for army vehicles and guns. The basis of this camouflage scheme was dark beige RAL 7028 "Dunkelgelb nach Muster", the spots and stripes of this camouflage consisted of two colours - RAL 8017 Red Brown and RAL 6003 Olive Green - and were applied in appropriate quantities depending on the season, weather and area of operations. Thus, olive green stains were used more often in summer and reddish brown in autumn. The vehicles were generally painted dark yellow in the factory and then the appropriate camouflage pattern was applied locally. Many of the photographs show that camouflage patches have been applied to moving parts such as wheels or rims. The spraying has resulted in soft transitions. The new camouflage colour scheme was first used extensively at Zitadel on the Type III / IV / V / VI tanks used there
