Humbrol 249 RLM 79 Sandbraun Matt

Humbrol 249 RLM 79 Sandbraun Matt is a high-quality modeling paint designed primarily for enthusiasts of historical model making, with particular regard to modelers focused on World War II vehicles and aircraft. The RLM 79 Sandbraun shade is an authentic color used by the German Luftwaffe during the North African campaign, notably on aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, and Focke-Wulf Fw 190. This color, a light, sandy brown, reflected the desert conditions and helped camouflage equipment against the African terrain between 1941-1943.

Humbrol 249, in its matte version, is an enamel paint suitable for painting detailed plastic models, resin models, and 3D printed parts. The paint offers excellent covering power and outstanding durability; when dry, it forms an even, matte surface that is resistant to abrasion and external conditions. For best results, use the paint with an airbrush or brush—regardless of whether you are modeling in 1/72, 1/48, 1/35, or 1/32 scale. The pigment and formula have been developed to maintain scale and detail.

The 14 ml package allows for efficient coverage of even large models, and thanks to the excellent efficiency of Humbrol paints, every modeler can achieve precise finishing of both details and larger surfaces. The product is prepared based on original German RLM color specifications, ensuring compatibility with authentic historical examples.
