The paints offered by AK Interactive have been developed based on authentic formulas to reproduce the scale reduction effect, which is crucial for painting models in popular scales such as 1/48, 1/32, or 1/72. The RLM 78, RLM 79, and RLM 80 colors were the standard on aircraft like the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" operating in desert or southern climates, where combat conditions required specific camouflage shades.

The paints are highly efficient and resistant to mechanical damage—they work perfectly with additional weathering and masking techniques. They can be thinned with dedicated AK thinners as well as other lacquer paint thinners (without vinyl additives). Fast drying and a smooth, even coating ensure results that will satisfy even the most demanding modelers.

We recommend AK Interactive RCS032 LUFTWAFFE TROPICAL COLORS 1941 both to enthusiasts of WWII German aviation and modelers looking to recreate the authentic look of aircraft from the Mediterranean front. We rate this set as intermediate (difficulty level: 2/5) – easy to use, especially if you already have some experience using an airbrush. These paints guarantee the highest quality and historical fidelity to the climate of Luftwaffe operations in North Africa.
