During this early‑war period, the standard factory colour for almost all German armoured vehicles was Dunkelgrau (Dark Grey, RAL 7021).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first phase of the war—the Polish Campaign in 1939 and the Battle of France in 1940—German Army (Heer) equipment was finished in a two‑tone camouflage scheme of Dunkelgrau RAL 7021 (dark grey) and Dunkelbraun RAL 7017 (dark brown). This pattern consisted of approximately two‑thirds grey and one‑third brown disruptive patches applied at the factory or depot level. To replicate these distinctive early‑war schemes and achieve realistic modulation effects, the set includes Dunkelgrau RAL 7021 for the accurate base tone along with a lighter grey for highlights, volume, and subtle tonal variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the application of Dunkelbraun was officially discontinued in July 1940 and vehicles were thereafter finished in plain Dunkelgrau, by late 1941 and 1942, some tanks displayed field‑applied camouflage, often using whatever colours were available to crews. To support these transitional and improvised patterns, the set also includes Dunkelgelb and Schokobraun RAL 8017, allowing modellers to depict overspray patches, repaints, and theatre-specific schemes during the later part of this period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also features two rust tones—light and dark—for replicating exhaust pipe and track rust, which can be further enhanced using a very dark brown for realistic chipping effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set also includes essential colours for painting tracks: a neutral brown base and a dark metallic tone, which is also great for painting tools. A reddish brown is provided for wooden tool handles, and black for rubber parts and other details. Rounding out the set is Bone, a versatile colour for highlighting and lightening tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll colours can be used as-is for painting individual vehicle components or blended to create custom tones—especially useful for adding volume through highlights and shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents of the set:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-1013\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Dunkelgrau RAL7021 (FS26081)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0169\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Neutral Grey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-1007\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Dunkelgelb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-1004\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Schokobraun RAL 8017\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0156\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Rust \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0155\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Light Rust\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0154\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Brown \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0160\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Black Brown \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0172\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0148\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Graveyard Earth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0173\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Black Metal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIONIC-0009\u003c\/strong\u003e IONIC Bone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IONIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49078783410427,"sku":"8432074912132","price":849.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/0398\/4552\/files\/IONIC-1213-WWII-German-Tanks-1939-1942-Paint-Set.jpg?v=1784285906","url":"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/products\/ionic1213","provider":"Jix Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
