Thinning and airbrushing AK 3G

AK 3G paints can be used brush or airbrush, often directly from the dropper bottle. For airbrushing thin with AK Interactive’s own 3G Thinner for best results. Vallejo Airbrush Thinner and isopropyl alcohol also work. For vehicle colours aim for a semi-transparent consistency at 15–20 PSI to allow natural colour modulation across panel faces.

Figure colours are formulated for brush application at 1/35 scale. Thin with water or acrylic medium for smooth blending. The five flesh tones work as a complete system straight from the dropper bottles.

AKI11301 WWI British Khaki Brown Base British WWI WWI British Khaki Brown Base — the standard overall colour for British tanks and armoured vehicles 1916–18. Mark I (Somme, September 1916 — first tank action in history), Mark IV (Messines and Passchendaele, 1917), Mark V (Amiens, August 1918), Whippet medium tank. Applied factory-fresh as a flat khaki-brown; field crews added camouflage over this base. Use as the foundation tone before applying painted-on lozenges or geometric patterns.
AKI11302 WWI French Milky Coffee French WWI WWI French Milky Coffee — light warm tan component in French four-colour camouflage. Renault FT-17 (the most-produced tank of WWI — all French and American units 1918), St Chamond, and Schneider CA1. The AEF (American Expeditionary Forces) operated Renault FT-17s in French colours. Milky coffee forms the light background tone of the characteristic French angular camouflage scheme.
AKI11303 WWI French Artillery Grey French WWI WWI French Artillery Grey — grey component in French vehicle camouflage. Schneider CA1 (first French tank, introduced February 1917 — Chemin des Dames), 75mm field guns and artillery tractors, French Army staff cars. French artillery used a distinctive grey-green-brown camouflage scheme; this grey is the mid-tone component distinct from the khaki and brown tones.
AKI11304 WWI French Brown French WWI WWI French Brown — dark brown component in French four-colour camouflage. Renault FT-17, Schneider CA1, St Chamond heavy tank. The dark brown forms the strong contrast element in the French camouflage scheme against the lighter milky coffee and green tones. Also used for the distinctive dark wavy border lines between camouflage zones.
AKI11305 WWI French Green 1 French WWI WWI French Green 1 — lighter green component in French vehicle camouflage. Renault FT-17, St Chamond. French camouflage schemes used two distinct greens (a lighter and darker variant) in combination with the brown and milky coffee tones to produce a distinctive high-contrast four-colour pattern immediately recognisable on WWI French armour subjects.
AKI11306 WWI French Green French WWI WWI French Green 2 — darker green component in French vehicle camouflage. Same vehicles as Green 1 — Renault FT-17, Schneider, St Chamond. This deeper, more saturated green provides the darkest element of the French scheme alongside the dark brown. Both greens together create the lush, vegetation-mimicking quality of French WWI tank camouflage.

German RAL Colours — WWII Armour

The full German RAL armour colour system from Panzergrau (1937–1943) through the three-tone Dunkelgelb/Olivgrün/Rotbraun scheme.

AKI11307 RAL7009 Hellgrau Panzergrau RAL7009 Hellgrau — dark grey used on German vehicles in the pre-war and early war period. Panzer I, Panzer II, Panzer III Ausf.A–H, Panzer IV Ausf.A–F1 (Poland 1939, France 1940, Operation Barbarossa 1941). This grey was the standard German AFV colour from 1937 until the February 1943 order mandating Dunkelgelb as the new base colour. Use for all German armour prior to 1943.
AKI11308 RAL6007 Grun Early War RAL6007 Grün — dark green used in pre-war and early war German camouflage schemes. Panzer II, Panzer III early (some vehicles in France 1940 and North Africa), motorcycle combinations, and some early soft-skin vehicles. Applied as a mottle or pattern over the Panzergrau base on vehicles whose crews applied additional camouflage in the field.
AKI11309 RAL6003 Olivgrun 1 Olivgrün v.1 RAL6003 Olivgrün Version 1 — first version of the olive green component in the 1943 three-tone scheme. Panzer IV Ausf.H/J, Panther Ausf.D/A/G, Tiger I, StuG III/IV, Jagdpanzer IV, Panzerjäger Marder (all variants from mid-1943). AK Interactive provides two versions reflecting documented factory and field variation in this critical colour; Version 1 is the earlier, slightly more yellow-green formulation.
AKI11310 RAL6003 Olivgrun 2 Olivgrün v.2 RAL6003 Olivgrün Version 2 — later version of olive green, slightly more muted and less yellow than Version 1. Panther Ausf.G (late 1944–45 production), Tiger II (King Tiger — all variants), Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger. The two Olivgrün variants reflect real variation in paint supply quality as German industry faced increasing resource shortages; use Version 2 for late-war subjects.
AKI11311 RAL6011 Resedagrun Olivgrün RAL6011 Resedagrün Version 1 — a greener, more saturated olive used on some German vehicles and equipment. Some Panzer IV and StuG variants, Wehrmacht soft-skin vehicles (Kübelwagen, Opel Blitz), and artillery pieces. Resedagrün appears less commonly than the standard RAL6003 Olivgrün but is documented on specific production batches and theatre variations.
AKI11312 RAL6011B Resedagrun Olivgrün RAL6011B Resedagrün Version 2 — slightly different formulation of the Reseda green. Wehrmacht equipment and transport vehicles, some artillery tractors (Sd.Kfz.9 FAMO, Sd.Kfz.7). The two versions reflect the same supply variation issue as RAL6003 — German paint manufacturers produced slightly different tones under the same RAL designation throughout the war.
AKI11313 RAL7008 Graugrun Graugrün RAL7008 Graugrün Version 1 — grey-green used on some German vehicles as a field-applied camouflage. Some Panzer III and IV vehicles (Eastern Front 1941–42), Wehrmacht soft-skin vehicles. RAL7008 is less common on AFV subjects than the main scheme colours but appears on transport and support vehicles and some field-applied camouflage variations.
AKI11314 RAL7008 Graugrun 2 Graugrün RAL7008 Graugrün Version 2 — second variant of the grey-green. Wehrmacht logistics vehicles, some artillery equipment. Provides subtle variation within the grey-green tone family for diorama builders wanting differentiation between individual vehicles.
AKI11315 RAL7017 Dunkelbraun Dunkelbraun RAL7017 Dunkelbraun — dark brown component of the 1943 three-tone camouflage scheme. Panzer IV Ausf.H/J, Panther Ausf.D/A/G, Tiger I (heavy tank battalions, Tunisia and Kursk 1943), StuG III Ausf.G, Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer. Applied over Dunkelgelb base as the dark brown element of the standard three-tone scheme alongside Olivgrün. Varies in application from thin stripes to broad patches depending on unit and crew preference.
AKI11316 RAL7021 Dunkelgrau Panzergrau RAL7021 Dunkelgrau — the definitive Panzergrau, the standard overall colour for all German armour 1937–1943. Panzer I, II, III, IV (all early variants), StuG III (Ausf.A–F), Sd.Kfz.222/232/251, Hanomag half-track (all variants). The most important single colour for early-war German AFV modelling. The Panzergrau order was replaced by Dunkelgelb in February 1943 but many vehicles in service retained or partially repainted in mixed schemes.
AKI11317 RAL7027 Grau Grau RAL7027 Grau — medium grey used as a field-applied camouflage colour and on some production vehicles. Some Panzer III and IV vehicles (Eastern Front winter schemes), Wehrmacht staff cars, and some factory-applied two-tone grey schemes from 1941. Lighter than Panzergrau RAL7021; creates subtle variation when used as a highlight or in two-tone grey applications.
AKI11318 RAL7028 Dunkelgelb Inital Dunkelgelb Initial RAL7028 Dunkelgelb — initial 1943 formulation. The dark yellow that replaced Panzergrau as the German standard AFV base colour from February 1943. Panzer IV Ausf.H (kursk, July 1943 — Operation Citadel), Panther Ausf.D (Kursk — 1st appearance), Tiger I (schwere Panzer-Abteilung 501, 502, 503 — Tunisia and Kursk), StuG III/IV (all theatres 1943). The initial formulation is lighter and more yellow than later variants.
AKI11319 RAL7028 Dunkelgelb Ausgabe 1944 Dunkelgelb 1944 RAL7028 Dunkelgelb Ausgabe 1944 — the 1944 production formulation, darker and more ochre than the 1943 version. Panther Ausf.G (all production 1944–45 — Normandy, Ardennes, Eastern Front), Tiger II King Tiger (schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101, 501 — Normandy, Ardennes), Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, E-series. The darkening of Dunkelgelb over time is well-documented; this version is the most accurate for 1944 production onwards.
AKI11320 RAL7028 Dunkelgelb Variant Dunkelgelb Variant RAL7028 Dunkelgelb Variant — alternate tone reflecting documented variation in Dunkelgelb production. German paint was produced by multiple manufacturers under the same RAL specification, resulting in genuine colour variation between factories and time periods. This variant suits modellers wanting a slightly different base tone for variation within a diorama or between vehicles of the same unit.
AKI11325 RAL1039 Sandbeige Sand Beige RAL1039 Sandbeige — sand beige for North African and desert theatre subjects. Panzer III Ausf.J/L/M Trop (Panzerarmee Afrika — Gazala, El Alamein 1942), Panzer IV Ausf.F2/G (Afrika Korps — Tobruk, El Alamein), Sd.Kfz.251 half-track (DAK). The lighter, more beige-pink variant of the North African colour family, associated with the first DAK deployments in 1941.
AKI11326 RAL8031 Sandbraun Sand Brown RAL8031 Sandbraun — sand brown for North African subjects, slightly redder than Sandbeige. DAK vehicles (Panzer III, Panzer IV, Sd.Kfz.222 — North Africa 1941–43), some Italian-theatre subjects. The sand brown reflects field variation in the DAK colour application; crews mixed available paints locally and the result varied significantly from the factory specification.
AKI11327 RAL8000 Gelbbraun Gelbbraun RAL8000 Gelbbraun — yellow-brown for North African and Mediterranean subjects. DAK vehicles and equipment, Italian Army vehicles operating alongside German forces (M13/40, Semovente 75/18). The warm yellow-brown tone is characteristic of some DAK vehicles in the early North Africa campaign before standardised colour supply was established.
AKI11328 RAL8012 Rotbraun Rotbraun RAL8012 Rotbraun Version 1 — red-brown camouflage component. German vehicles with Rotbraun field-applied camouflage (Panzer IV, StuG III — Eastern Front 1943), some pre-war and early war German equipment. Rotbraun was used as a secondary camouflage colour alongside Panzergrau and later as one of the three-tone scheme components.
AKI11329 RAL8013 Rotbraun Rotbraun RAL8013 Rotbraun Version 2 — second red-brown variant, slightly more orange-red. Panzer IV, Panther, Tiger I with field-applied brown camouflage (Eastern Front 1943–44). The variation between RAL8012 and RAL8013 reflects the documented inconsistency in Rotbraun paint supply; use both versions for variation within a diorama.
AKI11330 RAL8017 Rotbraun Rotbraun RAL8017 Rotbraun Version 3 — darker, more chocolate-brown variant. Some Tiger I and Panther vehicles, StuG IV. This is the darkest of the three Rotbraun variants and reads as a distinctly different brown from the two lighter versions; appropriate for specific documented colour samples and for maximum contrast against Dunkelgelb in three-tone schemes.
AKI11331 RAL8020 Braun Braun RAL8020 Braun — warm brown for North African theatre subjects. DAK vehicles (some Sd.Kfz.251 variants, Opel Blitz trucks, Kübelwagen), Italian desert vehicles. A general-purpose brown used on transport and soft-skin vehicles in the Mediterranean theatre where standardised AFV colours were not always applied to non-combat vehicles.
AKI11333 Cremeweiss Cremeweiss RAL9001 Cremeweiß — cream white for winter camouflage on German vehicles. Tiger I (schwere Panzer-Abt. 502 — Leningrad, Winter 1942–43), Panzer IV (all Eastern Front winter operations), StuG III (all Eastern Front winter). The German winter white was applied over the existing Panzergrau or Dunkelgelb base in varying thicknesses — this cream-white tone represents the new or well-applied winter wash before weathering and wear.

Allied WWII — US, British & Soviet

US Olive Drab, British SCC vehicle colours (North Africa through NW Europe), and the Soviet 4BO, 6K, and 7K wartime camouflage system. Covers M4 Sherman and US armour, the full British SCC range from Crusader to Churchill, and Soviet armour from T-34/76 through IS-2 and SU series.

AKI11374 Silver Grey No.28 British Silver Grey No.28 — pre-war and early WWII British vehicle grey. British Army vehicles 1936–40 (pre-khaki standardisation), some early Matilda I, Bren carrier variants. The grey-green used on British vehicles before the Middle Bronze Green and later khaki schemes were universally adopted.
AKI11375 Slate Grey No.34 British Slate Grey No.34 — blue-grey for British armoured vehicles. Some British tank variants (Matilda I, Cruiser Mk.I early), Home Forces vehicles (Britain 1940). Slate grey appears primarily on British armour in the pre-1941 period and on some Home Defence vehicles that were not repainted in the later khaki-green schemes.
AKI11377 Light Stone No.61 British Light Stone No.61 — the British desert light stone colour used for vehicle markings and some overall schemes. Crusader, Honey Stuart, Grant (8th Army — first battle of El Alamein, July 1942), some Bren carriers in North Africa. Light Stone was used as both a vehicle base colour and as the light element in the British two-tone desert scheme (Light Stone upper surfaces, Portland Stone or Silver Grey lower).
AKI11378 Portland Stone No.64 British Portland Stone No.64 — lower surface colour for the British desert two-tone scheme. Churchill Mk.III (Dieppe Raid, August 1942), some 8th Army vehicles. Portland Stone is a creamy off-white used on vehicle undersurfaces and as the lighter contrast element in British North African camouflage; it pairs with Khaki Brown or Light Stone on upper surfaces.
AKI11384 S.C.C. No.1a Very Dark Brown British WWII S.C.C. No.1a Very Dark Brown — Service Corps Colour 1a, the darkest of the British WWII vehicle browns. Churchill tank (79th Armoured Division — Hobart’s Funnies, D-Day June 1944), Sherman DD (swimming tank — Normandy beaches), Cromwell (7th Armoured Division — Villers-Bocage). Applied as the dark contrast element in British two-tone schemes in the European theatre.

Sherman Mk.V Firefly (all 21st Army Group units — Normandy, Arnhem, Rhine), Churchill Mk.VII, Cromwell Mk.IV, Comet Mk.I. The mid-brown base colour for most British armour in the Normandy campaign; used either overall or as the base for the two-tone SCC scheme.
AKI11386 S.C.C. No.15 Olive Drab British WWII S.C.C. No.15 Olive Drab — the British version of Olive Drab used on vehicles in North-West Europe. M4 Sherman (British 8th Army, Mediterranean theatre — lend-lease in British service), some Churchill variants. The British olive drab is subtly different from US OD; this specific SCC designation is the correct reference for lend-lease US equipment in British service.
AKI11387 3B AU/ZB AU Commonwealth 3B AU/ZB AU — Austro-Hungarian brown-green camouflage for WWI subjects. Austro-Hungarian Beutepanzer (captured vehicles), some early improvised armoured vehicles on the Italian front. A specialist colour for modellers working on Austro-Hungarian or early Italian WWI armour subjects.
AKI11367 Base Green Protective Soviet Pre-War Base Green Protective — the Soviet “Protective Green” pre-war base coat.

This is the pre-4BO green used on Soviet vehicles before the standardised wartime colour system was fully implemented.
AKI11368 Russian 4BO Soviet WWII Russian 4BO — the definitive Soviet WWII vehicle green. T-34/76 (all production variants — Stalingrad, Kursk, Operation Bagration), T-34/85 (1944–45 — Berlin), KV-1/2 (1941–42 — Leningrad, Moscow), IS-2 (3rd Guards Tank Army — Berlin 1945), SU-85/100/122/152 (all production). The most important single colour in Soviet AFV modelling; 4BO covers virtually every Soviet combat vehicle from 1941 to 1945.
AKI11369 Russian Dark Brown 6K Soviet WWII Russian Dark Brown 6K — the dark brown component of Soviet two-tone camouflage. T-34/76 (Kursk-era vehicles with factory-applied or field-applied brown stripes — 1943), KV-1S (Leningrad Front — 1942–43), SU-122 (Kursk — July 1943). The Soviet two-tone scheme of 4BO green and 6K brown was common on vehicles produced or repainted in 1942–43; the brown stripes varied widely in application between factories and units.
AKI11370 Russian Sand 7K Soviet WWII Russian Sand 7K — the light sand used in Soviet three-colour camouflage schemes. T-34/76 (some 1943–44 production — summer schemes with sand component), T-70 light tank, BA-64 armoured car. Some Soviet vehicles received a three-colour scheme of 4BO green, 6K brown, and 7K sand; this was less common than the two-tone scheme but documented on specific units and time periods.
AKI11371 Protective Green 1920s-1930s Soviet Pre-War Protective Green 1920s–1930s — inter-war Soviet vehicle green. T-26 variants (Soviet Army — early 1930s), BT-2/BT-5 fast tank (Soviet mechanised corps, 1930s exercises), T-28 medium tank. The inter-war Soviet colour is a lighter, slightly more grey-green than the wartime 4BO; it was used through the late 1930s and appears on vehicles used in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa still in their original inter-war finish.
AKI11372 Washable White Paint Soviet WWII Washable White Paint — the Soviet winter camouflage wash. T-34/76 (Moscow counter-offensive, winter 1941–42), T-34/85 (winter 1944–45 — Vistula-Oder), KV-1 (Leningrad winter), IS-2 (Oder crossing, winter 1945). Soviet winter white was a water-soluble whitewash applied over the 4BO green base. It wore and washed off unevenly, giving characteristic patchy coverage; this warm off-white correctly represents the freshly-applied or partially-worn version.

Cold War & Modern Subjects

Post-WWII through contemporary vehicle colours. US MERDC four-colour Cold War camouflage, CARC Tan for Gulf War and OIF subjects, NATO three-tone (Green/Brown/Black) for Leopard 1, M60, and Chieftain, IDF colours across four decades, British Gulf War Desert Pink, French Army schemes, Australian camouflage, and Middle Eastern theatre colours.

Merkava Mk.3/4 (Armored Corps — all current units), Namer APC (IDF mechanised infantry), D9R armoured bulldozer (Engineering Corps — Gaza operations). The IDF shifted to a greyer scheme in recent decades; this modern grey is the correct colour for post-2000 Israeli armour subjects.
AKI11353 IDF Sand Grey 1970s-1980s Israeli IDF Sand Grey 1970s–1980s — the sand-grey used on Israeli armour from the Yom Kippur War through the First Lebanon War. Merkava Mk.1/2 (IDF Armored Corps — First Lebanon War 1982, Peace for Galilee operation), M60A1 Magach 6 (Yom Kippur War 1973 — Sinai and Golan fronts), Centurion Sho’t Kal (1973 — Golan Heights, the “Valley of Tears” battle). One of the most distinctive IDF colour periods.
AKI11354 IDF Early Sand Yellow Israeli IDF Early Sand Yellow — the warmer, more yellow sand used on Israeli vehicles in the 1948–1967 period. Sherman M50 Super Sherman (1948 War of Independence — IDF first-generation armour), AMX-13 (Six-Day War, IDF), Half-track M3 (all 1948–67 conflicts). The early IDF colour is distinctly warmer and more yellow than the later grey-sand tones associated with the 1973 war onwards.
AKI11355 IDF Green Israeli IDF Green — dark green used on some IDF vehicles, particularly in the Golan area and in forest camouflage schemes. Some Merkava Mk.1/2 variants (Golan Heights deployment), IDF engineering vehicles. Not the primary IDF colour but appears on specific units operating in the northern, greener terrain of the Golan Heights.
AKI11356 SLA Blue Syrian SLA Blue — the distinctive blue-grey used on Syrian Lebanese Army vehicles. T-54/55 (Syrian Army — Lebanon, 1976), T-62 (Syrian Army — Lebanon), BTR-60 (Syrian forces in Lebanon). The SLA (Syrian Lebanese Army / Armée Syrienne au Liban) blue is one of the most recognisable Middle Eastern theatre colours; its distinctive shade immediately identifies Syrian-operated vehicles in the Lebanese Civil War period.
AKI11357 LAF Green Lebanese LAF Green — Lebanese Armed Forces green. M48A5 Patton (Lebanese Army — various factions, Civil War 1975–90), AMX-13 (Lebanese Army), M113. The LAF green is a distinct shade used on Lebanese Army vehicles; during the Civil War multiple factions used Lebanese Army equipment, making this colour relevant to a range of complex and colourful subjects.
AKI11358 NATO Green NATO NATO Green — the dark green component of the standard NATO three-colour camouflage scheme. Leopard 1A4/A5 (Bundeswehr — all NORTHAG units), M60A3 (USAREUR), Chieftain Mk.10/11 (BAOR), AMX-30B2 (French Army — CENTAG). The NATO three-tone scheme (green, black, brown) was adopted across the alliance from the late 1970s and remains one of the most recognisable Cold War AFV camouflage patterns.
AKI11359 NATO Brown NATO NATO Brown — medium brown component of the NATO three-colour scheme. Same vehicles as NATO Green — Leopard 1, M60A3, Chieftain, Challenger 1. The brown is applied as irregular patches over the green base, typically covering approximately one-third of the vehicle surface area in the standard NATO pattern.
AKI11360 NATO Black NATO NATO Black — black component of the NATO three-colour scheme. Same vehicles as NATO Green and Brown. The black patches are the smallest of the three colours, typically applied to shadow areas, lower hull, running gear, and as thin dividing lines between green and brown zones. Creates the characteristic high-contrast appearance of NATO camouflage.
AKI11361 New Iraqi Army Sand Iraqi New Iraqi Army Sand — the sand colour on post-2003 Iraqi Army vehicles. M1A1 Abrams (9th Iraqi Armoured Division — trained and equipped by US forces), M113 (Iraqi Army — post-2003 re-equipment), Humvee (Iraqi Army — various units). The post-Saddam Iraqi Army used largely US-supplied equipment in desert sand colours, making this colour relevant to OIF and post-OIF subjects.
AKI11363 French Army Desert Sand French French Army Desert Sand — French vehicle colour for overseas operations. AMX-30B2 (6ème Régiment de Commandement et de Soutien — Gulf War, Opération Désert Bouclier), VAB (Véhicule de l’Avant Blindé — Chad, Mali, Afghanistan), Leclerc (French Army — UAE deployment). France has operated extensively in African and Middle Eastern theatres and this sand tone covers those deployments from the 1990s onwards.
AKI11364 French Army Green French French Army Green — standard French Army vehicle green. AMX-30B (1er Régiment de Cuirassiers, 2ème Hussards — European deployment), AMX-10P IFV, ERC-90 Sagaie armoured car (overseas operations). The French Army green is a distinctive dark green different from NATO three-tone; it was the standard overall colour for French vehicles in Europe during the Cold War.
AKI11365 French Army Grey-Blue French French Army Grey-Blue — the blue-grey used on some French Army vehicles and equipment. Some French AFV subjects, French Army motorcycles, some post-war armoured car variants. A specialist colour for modellers working on less common French Army subjects outside the main operational colour palette.
AKI11366 Mustard Yellow Universal Mustard Yellow — warm yellow for diorama accessories, sandbags, canvas, and weathering. Universal utility colour — sandbag stacks in dioramas (any theatre), canvas covers, tarps, and equipment bags. Also useful as a base for faded US OD — Mustard Yellow lightened with a pale grey gives a convincing sun-bleached Olive Drab appearance on Pacific theatre or desert subjects.
AKI11373 Khaki Green No.3 British Post-War Khaki Green No.3 — post-war British Army vehicle green. Centurion Mk.3/5 (1st RTR — Korea, Suez 1956), Conqueror heavy tank, Saracen APC (Cyprus, Aden), Ferret scout car. The standard British Army vehicle colour from the late 1940s through the 1960s before Bronze Green became standard. Also used on Centurion in Israel (Sho’t — Six-Day War, Yom Kippur War).
AKI11381 British Dark Olive Green PFI British Modern British Dark Olive Green PFI — post-1982 British Army olive green. Challenger 1 (1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards — Gulf War 1991), Warrior IFV (1st Battalion Irish Guards — Bosnia, Kosovo), FV432 APC. The PFI (Post-Falklands Inventory) olive drab replaced earlier British greens and was the standard colour until the Gulf War green/black/brown camouflage scheme became common.
AKI11382 British Desert Pink ZI British Gulf War British Desert Pink ZI — the distinctive pink-sand colour used on British vehicles in the Gulf War 1991. Challenger 1 (1st (UK) Armoured Division — all units, Operation Granby), Warrior IFV (4th Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Brigade — Desert Rats), FV432, Scimitar CVR(T). The Gulf War “Desert Pink” is one of the most distinctive and recognisable British vehicle colours of the modern era; several different shades were used across units.
AKI11383 British Light Mud British British Light Mud — a weathering and base colour for British vehicles in wet European conditions. Chieftain Mk.5/10 (BAOR, 1970s–80s), Challenger 1 (Germany — BAOR before Gulf War deployment). Represents the mud-contaminated lower hull colour common on vehicles operating in the North German Plain training areas; useful as a modulation layer or lower hull tone.

AKI11401 Base Flesh Flesh Base Base Flesh — the mid-tone foundation for Caucasian skin on 1/35 scale figures and 1/16 busts. German Wehrmacht infantry (Heer, Waffen-SS — all theatres), British Army figures, US Army infantry, Japanese Army. Apply over a brown-black primer and use as the primary mid-tone before adding shadows with Dark Shadow Flesh below and highlights with Light Flesh above.
AKI11402 Light Flesh Flesh Light Light Flesh — first highlight over Base Flesh. Apply on raised facial features: nose bridge, cheekbones, chin, forehead, and upper lip. Use thinned for zenithal highlighting across the face and hands. Works in the AK 3G five-step flesh system between Base Flesh and Highlight Flesh.
AKI11403 Highlight Flesh Flesh Highlight Highlight Flesh — the brightest highlight in the five-step flesh tone system. Apply only on the most prominent points: tip of nose, upper cheekbones under the eye, brow ridge. Use very sparingly and thinned to near-transparency for a natural skin highlight rather than an artificial hot-spot.
AKI11404 Shadow Flesh Flesh Shadow Shadow Flesh — first shadow tone in the five-step system. Apply in eye sockets, under the chin, around the neck, between fingers, and in natural skin creases. Creates the depth that defines facial features at scale. Can be mixed with Base Flesh for smooth gradient transitions.
AKI11405 Dark Shadow Flesh Flesh Dark Dark Shadow Flesh — the deepest shadow in the flesh system. Apply only in the most recessed areas: deep eye sockets, under the nose, corners of the mouth, earlobes. Very sparingly used — it should enhance depth without making the figure appear bruised. Can also serve as a base skin tone for darker Mediterranean or Middle Eastern complexions with the lighter tones used for highlights.
AKI11406 Reddish Black Flesh Reddish Black — very dark warm brown-black for deep skin shadows and hair. Use for the deepest eye socket recesses, five-o’clock shadow stubble effects, black hair base coat (before highlighting with dark brown), and leather equipment shadows. Also useful as a lining colour in panel washing on dark uniform areas.

SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend, 1. SS-Panzer-Division Leibstandarte — Normandy 1944, Ardennes 1944–45).

Wehrmacht infantry (Heer — all theatres 1942–45), Luftwaffe field divisions, Fallschirmjäger (paratrooper — Crete 1941, Tunisia, Monte Cassino).
