Description

AKIRC947 - AK Interactive Real Colors RLM 79 17 ml.

A warm, sandy tan-yellow tone — RLM 79 Sandgelb, the upper surface colour for the Luftwaffe tropical camouflage scheme in North Africa and the Mediterranean Theatre from 1941, forming the characteristic sand-and-sky two-tone scheme alongside RLM 78 on the lower surfaces. Part of the AK Interactive Real Colors Military range in the new 17ml plastic dropper bottle, RC947 is the essential upper surface colour for Luftwaffe North Africa and Mediterranean subjects from 1941 onward.

RC947 RLM 79 was introduced around the spring of 1941 as the upper surface colour for the Luftwaffe tropical scheme in North Africa and the Mediterranean Theatre. It was applied to upper surfaces of fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft operating in these theatres, and was also found on some Bf 109 fighters that had been factory-painted in tropical colours before deployment to the Eastern Front. It is therefore correct for Luftwaffe upper surfaces in the North Africa and Mediterranean tropical scheme from spring 1941 including the Bf 109E/F/G, Bf 110, Ju 88, He 111, Ju 87, Ju 52, and associated types in North African and Mediterranean service; and Eastern Front aircraft that received tropical factory finish — principally Bf 109 fighters in the RLM 79 upper surface scheme.
