Set Vallejo Model Air 8 u. (17 ml.) Kriegsmarine WWII German Colors

A selection of 8 colors for painting WWII war ships most common in service in
Germany, such as submarines and support vessels. Many archives were destroyed
in the last years of the war, however, color charts, issued in 1944, have been
retrieved in which the colors were defined on the basis of the RAL (Reichsausschuss
für Lieferbedingungen) color codes and their equivalencies. Some of the colors
employed by the German Navy before the introduction of the RAL color system are
defined by the shades most similar to the RAL classifications. With the updating
of the RAL color charts in 1953, many references used during WWII have been
eliminated, although lately – in 1976- there has been an effort to recuperate this
information. The colors selected for this set are the closest possible to available historical
references.
