Real Colors paint set containing six colors essential for painting German Army model vehicles used in the final months of World War II. It includes two shades of RAL 7028 (including the darker "1944" version introduced in September 1944), which were used along with RAL 6003 and RAL 8017 to overlay the three-color factory camouflage patterns introduced in August 1944. Also included is RAL 9002 paint, useful for replicating the winter camouflage patterns used on many vehicles in the winter of 1944-1945, and RAL 8012 primer and interior color, which likely also found use as a camouflage color.

The set includes 6 paints of the following colors:

• RC852 Olivgrün-Olive Green Ral 6003
• RC859 Dunkelgelb-Dark Yellow Ral 7028
• RC860 Dunkelgelb Ausgabe 44-Dark Yellow 1944 Ral 7028

Real Colors series paints are acrylic paints based on organic solvents.

They are characterized by a moderately intense odor. They are designed for painting with an airbrush. For painting with a brush they are rather unsuitable and for modelers without airbrush we recommend AK paints from the 3 Gen series.

The palette includes primary colors, colors for civilian cars, clearcoats and colors dedicated to painting model aircraft and military vehicles. The paint colors were prepared by modeling and military experts. They faithfully reproduce the paints used on original vehicles and aircraft. The effect of scale was also taken into account, which causes that the shade of paint on the plastic model should be a little lighter than on the real object. With their composition and properties, they are most similar to Mr. Hobby C-series, Hataka orange series or Tamiya LP series paints, but have a less intense smell.

AK Real Colors paints can be divided into three color groups:

• Standard colors - these are the basic shades that are most commonly used in all varieties of modeling. The palette also includes transparent colors and clearcoats.
• Colors for civilian vehicles - a new range of colors has been developed for painting model cars and motorcycles. It features the most popular colors used by iconic manufacturers such as Renault, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Lotus, Subaru, Ducati, Kawasaki, etc., along with a range of standard colors suitable for interiors and details.
• Colors for aircraft and military vehicles - the range of military colors includes colors for both aircraft and vehicles from the 1930s to the present day. Many of the colors correspond to RAL, Federal Standard or British Standard , while others are based on color samples from the era or reproduced from original formulas.

Real Color paints work well with an airbrush.

They do not clog it and lay down a very thin layer. Airbrush paint should be diluted with the appropriate thinner. The minimum dilution is one part thinner per paint, but we recommend diluting the paint more, such as two parts thinner per paint. Proper dilution makes airbrush painting easier and ensures better quality of the painted surface.

For thinning AK Real Colors paints, we recommend the original thinner from AK Interactive: AK701

You can also use Mr. Hobby thinners i.e. Mr. Color Thinner or Mr. Leveling Thinner or "orange" thinner from Hataka XP03. Paints should not be thinned with water or thinners for typical acrylic paints.
